Call for Faculty Submissions 2022-2023 URSA Engage Program
The Office of Undergraduate Research, Scholarship, & the Arts (Office of URSA) is excited to announce this year’s call for faculty submissions for the 2022-2023 URSA Engage Program, which is designed to provide first- and second-year students, as well as transfer students in their first year at OSU, opportunities to pursue research or a creative activity under the guidance of an OSU faculty mentor.
The faculty summary form can be found at this link or by visiting https://beav.es/iHV
Below is an overview of the URSA Engage Program. More detailed information about eligibility and deadlines can be found on our website.
- Faculty submit the mentor summary form by Friday, October 14, 2022 at 11:59pm.
- The opportunities submitted by faculty will be posted on our website for students to view on October 17.
- Students will read through mentor summaries and fill out a form that will be emailed to faculty mentors they are interested in working with.
- Faculty and students will then discuss shared interests and whether they want to work together on a project either in-person or via Zoom. We encourage faculty to host group session(s) to chat with students prior to allowing them to apply.
- Faculty will ultimately decide which student(s) they will allow to move forward with an application to the URSA Engage Program.
- Students who have secured a mentor will then apply to the URSA Engage Program. The Office of URSA will evaluate student applications and students will be notified of acceptances mid-January of 2023.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. We appreciate your partnership and willingness to mentor students early in their careers at OSU!
Best,

Accelerator Innovation Development (AID) fund application is OPEN!
Three times per year, the OSU Advantage Accelerator seeks technology-based projects in any discipline that will move OSU-owned technologies closer to commercialization. Projects should require $15,000 or less of Accelerator Innovation and Development (AID) funding to achieve an important milestone(s) connected to commercialization.
Applicant teams who are selected for an AID award will receive up to $15,000 of funding for R&D activities as outlined in the project budget and scope of work. Accepting the funds requires the team’s successful participation in the hybrid Accelerate program. AID project durations are typically six to nine months.
The Fall RFP application is open through September 20th. We will announce the Winter RFP on this page in November.
David Ji, et al. receives grant from Basic Energy Sciences, DOE
Project title: “Understanding the Interfaces for High-Energy Batteries Using Anions as Charge Carriers”
PI: Xiulei “David” Ji, Co-PIs: De-en Jiang (Vanderbilt), Chunsheng Wang (Univ. Maryland), Quinton Williams (Howard).
The team works on an alternative Li-ion battery technology. If successful, the new battery technology will provide a safer option for a longer driving range of electric vehicles. The new batteries do not rely on the depleting cobalt and nickel for the cathode materials, which will be more sustainable and of lower cost. The primary difference is that this new battery will use light anions as charge carriers for the operation of its high-capacity cathode materials. The three-million-dollar project from 2022 to 2025 is funded by the program of Basic Energy Sciences of the Department of Energy, and OSU’s portion will be $840,000.
