Findings Staff Report | Jan. 11, 2022
Six years ago, the Office of Research began recognizing every University of Cincinnati faculty researcher and scholar who secured a certain amount of funding for their work the previous fiscal year.
We keep track, and 43 individuals have been honored all six or five of the six years. We call them our rainmakers.
“These individuals are always moving UC forward as a public research institution,” says Vice President for Research Patrick Limbach. “Each is working to change our world for the better.”
Those on the list include researchers from five of UC’s main campus colleges. This year individuals who captured $200,000 or more in the areas of the arts, humanities or social sciences and over $450,000 in funding related to science, technology, engineering, mathematics or medicine were recognized.
Money isn’t everything, but it does help fuel UC’s vision, Research2030, to use our various areas of expertise and strengths to change our world. When we say Next Lives Here, we mean next-level education for our students, but we also mean next-level research. Without further ado, congratulations to these 43 individuals.
