About ROA+ Funding

Research Opportunity Award Plus (ROA+) funding provides regional university faculty members from primarily undergraduate institutions in Oklahoma with the opportunity to perform research at one of Oklahoma’s comprehensive research campuses (OU, OSU, TU, SRNF) during the summer months. The program enhances regional faculty members’ personal research experiences, while also supporting the development of ongoing collaborations with faculty at the comprehensive research campuses. These collaborations expand and enhance research efforts across the state.   ROA+ funding also allows the visiting researcher to incorporate their research experience into their classroom curriculum and to present their work at conferences.
