The recipients of the 2025-26 Ohio State Energy Partners (OSEP) Academic Collaboration Awards include projects to reduce carbon emissions and increase opportunities for undergraduate students to participate in research by monitoring ions in the Olentangy Watershed.
Administered by The Ohio State University and OSEP, the awards provide funding for projects that promote energy efficiency. In 2017, Ohio State and OSEP entered into a partnership to promote sustainability. Through the partnership, OSEP distributes $810,000 annually to Ohio State programs or philanthropic causes affiliated with the university.
Each year, Ohio State’s Office of Academic Affairs engages faculty, staff and students through a request for proposals for the OSEP awards. Programs that receive funding advance university priorities and promote interdisciplinary and community collaboration.
