Contracts and Grants

Since the founding of the Optical Sciences Center, OSC's faculty and staff have actively pursued opportunities for research collaboration with industry and governmental agencies. This strategy ensures that students have a broad range of opportunities for research during their education and that the College of Optical Sciences continues to contribute to major developments in the field. The contracts and grants group manages 60-70 contracts annually and submits more than 100 new proposals per year.
