For External Partners

Partnering with BGSU

OTTS works to establish complementary collaborative partnerships with industries, businesses, entrepreneurs, government entities, and other educational institutions to provide research opportunities for students and faculty. External partners are welcomed to access the top research talent at BGSU to support research projects, enhance work education, and to gain access to certain research facilities and services provided at BGSU:

 

Contact OTTS: OTTS encourages healthy collaborations with external partners for benefit of both BGSU and external entity. Please contact OTTS to inquire about how you engage with BGSU and provide information regarding your specific project or interest in partnering with BGSU.

Engage with BGSU for Technical Services and Testing:

In addition to the various options to access BGSU research, external parties may also need support from BGSU to perform technical services or testing or gain access to BGSU equipment.

Many BGSU faculty have established rates of providing technical services and testing to external partners. The established rates are based on usage time and are unique for each Technical Service/Testing. Please review the template Technical Services/Testing Agreement.

Many BGSU faculty have established standardized fee schedules to allow external parties to gain access to certain BGSU research equipment.

Apart from these opportunities, BGSU welcomes gifts from donors, and every gift makes a difference at Bowling Green State University.  “Make A Gift Now” is available at the University Advancement page to create a new fund — perhaps in honor of a loved one or faculty member — or choose from the hundreds of existing funds to help defray tuition costs for deserving students, attract the best faculty, or support any of our outstanding educational and community outreach programs.
