Osteopathic Heritage Foundation Research Endowments: Endowed Chairs, Professorships and Fellowships
The Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine, in partnership with the Osteopathic Heritage Foundation, has established a tiered endowment structure that provides faculty at any stage in their research career with support for professional growth and success in collaborative research. Each tier acknowledges the value of faculty members who have attained various levels of research experience contributing to the college’s strategic aims of advancing collaborative research and training and allows for the possibility of advancement through the series of available tiers.
Research and Scholarly Awards Committee
The Research and Scholarly Awards Committee provides research support to the Heritage College faculty to enhance research activity and to increase competitiveness for funding from external grant agencies. Proposals are reviewed by standing RSAC committee members and ad-hoc intramural content experts. The committee works closely with the Office of Research and Grants to stimulate research activity by our faculty.
Research Publication Support
The Research Publication Support Program, funded by the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine Office of Research and Grants, assists Heritage College faculty and staff to disseminate their research through the publication of scholarly work. This program covers, in part, funds for the publication fee of manuscripts that have been accepted for publication in accredited journals (i.e., indexed in PubMed, Scopus or comparable databases).

OhioLink Open Access (OA) Agreements and Support for Open Access Article Fees
“Open Access” (OA) means that scholarly publications are available without subscription paywall barriers, and usually licensed for reuse. See a good primer here.
OhioLINK, Ohio’s academic library consortium, has negotiated deals with publishers that increase the number of journal titles available for faculty and students as well as offer open access publishing at no cost to authors. Authors at most two-year and four-year non-profit colleges and universities in Ohio can increase the availability of their research without any Article Publication Charges (APCs). For an overview of OhioLINK Open Access resources, please see the Open Access for Authors page. For questions about journals and other resources available to you through your institution's library, contact your librarian.
