Goal 2: Grow Our Research Excellence
-
 Tools for Discovery – Procter & Gamble provides full access and use of its chemical compound library to the Genome Research Institute (GRI) – a resource containing more than 250,000 individual chemical compounds and a potentially powerful tool for enhancing the university's drug discovery mission.
- Interdisciplinary Investment – UC's University Research Council awards nine $25,000 grants to encourage interdisciplinary research.
- Boosting Undergraduate Research – UC establishes a new Office of Undergraduate Research and web portal to enhance opportunities for students to work one-on-one with faculty and other student researchers in more than 250 programs.
- Scholarly Sweep – UC wins both of Ohio's only Eminent Scholas awards for 2007, gaining funds to recruit to two faculty members from among the nation's finest research talent – one in nanotechnology and the other in advanced propulsion and power systems.
- Solar House Raising – More than 200 students in business, engineering and design combine skills to begin construction on a 100-percent solar-powered house to compete in the prestigious Solar Decathalon on the National Mall in October 2007. Only 20 universities from around the world have been selected to compete.
- Environmentally Friendly – UC's new sustainable Urban Engineering (SUE) education and research center works to break down disciplinary silos to solve the challenges of modern urban centers without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs.
