the lives in Oklahoma and beyond. Our innovative and collaborative research efforts
bring state-of-the-art technology, updated health resources and sustainable energy
practices to fruition.
Who is creating a bold vision for applied research?
Orange is the Answer. The Innovation Foundation at OSU is advancing and maximizing new discoveries, commercialization,
technology transfers and partnerships to drive OSU’s land-grant mission to serve all
of Oklahoma and beyond. The new foundation is home to OSU’s dynamic transdisciplinary
institutes focused on human performance, energy, and aerospace application and impact.
Who is addressing Indigenous health through research?
Orange is the Answer. The OSU Center for Indigenous Health Research and Policy is developing a new center
to expand and grow health and nutrition initiatives in Native communities across the
country. Fueled by $10 million in federal funding, the Center for Indigenous Innovation
and Health Equity brings together OSU researchers and four native tribes and organizations
in Oklahoma and Alaska. Through this innovative collaboration uniting researchers,
Indigenous knowledge holders, and community leaders, these centers are working to
eliminate health disparities and advance health and wellness in Indigenous communities.
Who is leading the way in real world health solutions?
Orange is the Answer. Oklahoma State University's One Health research initiatives explore the strong connection
between human, animal and environmental health. These interdisciplinary projects are
conducted in multiple areas across the state. Our researchers are striving to discover
how people, animals and the environment can safely rely on each other to preserve
global health and food security.
Where is aerospace research reaching new heights?
Orange is the Answer. Through the LaunchPad Center for Advanced Air Mobility at OSU-Tulsa’s Helmerich Research
Center, OSU engineers and researchers will partner with industry leaders to promote
the development of new technologies in advanced air mobility. The LaunchPad Center
will support the deployment of emerging aviation technologies, including unmanned
aerial systems with uses ranging from critical infrastructure inspection and agricultural
monitoring to emergency response and last-mile delivery.
Who is investing in rural communities?
Orange is the Answer. With a recent $15 million investment from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture,
OSU is working with new members of the agricultural workforce. The Rural Renewal Initiative
team is meeting a need for interdisciplinary research and Extension training programs
for undergraduate students — departing from traditional methods to provide innovative
new approaches to community development.
Where do researchers come together to collaborate, discover and innovate?
Orange is the Answer. The Innovation Park will serve as a crossroads for advancing OSU’s land-grant mission
through technology development and commercial partnerships. The new 678-acre collaborative
research park will bring faculty, industry partners and the community together to
share knowledge and solve problems.
