Research
Research is an important part of the story. From the partnership’s beginnings through the Transportation Research Center, Honda has also been the catalyst for adding research facilities and capabilities at Ohio State.
Over the life of the partnership, Honda has provided more than $28 million in research funding to Ohio State. Some of these dollars have helped to establish centers and institutes around the university that have not only created research capabilities for Honda, but other university partners as well. Through Honda funding, faculty have been able to fulfill their research passions and students have benefited from experiential learning opportunities. With these partnerships, Honda gains access to the talent and resources of a leading research university right in its backyard.
