RASP is committed to helping faculty achieve their research goals. Research resources fall into three categories: researchers, industry and students. Research resources include help with finding funding, proposal assistance, and grant administration. RASP also assists with compliance and award management. Industry resources connect faculty with resources to help them to translate research into technologies, establishing university-industry consortia and partnerships and promoting Kent State faculty research successes through corporate research events, academic symposia and workshops. The student resources section provides opportunities for graduate and undergraduate researchers including assistantships, funding opportunities, and training.
