BROWN ANNOUNCES MORE THAN $116,000 FOR CLIMATE RESEARCH AT THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY

Press Release

Today, U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) announced that the National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $116,017 grant to The Ohio State University (OSU) to fund scientific research and training opportunities in environmental and climate studies. The project aims to collect data that will help to predict future increases in average temperatures and contribute to our understanding of climate change.

"Research in science and our environment is critical to create jobs and improve our economy. We unleash more American innovation when everyone is able to participate and we nurture all Ohio talent," Brown said. "The Ohio State University is one of Ohio's great universities. These awards will help it advance our knowledge and continue Ohio's leadership in innovation."

In addition to this grant, Brown has also cosponsored the Supporting Early Career Researchers Act to establish a two-year pilot program at NSF to award grants to highly qualified, early-career investigators at independent, higher-education research institutions for up to two years. This will help prevent research talent loss due to pandemic job market.

NSF supports research and education in all the non-medical fields of science and engineering.
