OCAST AWARDS $4 MILLION FOR HEALTH RESEARCH
OCAST has awarded nearly $4 million for 30 health research
projects that will take up to three years to complete. The
Oklahoma Health Research program was the first program
implemented by the state’s science agency when it was created
26 years ago as Oklahoma began a long-term economic
diversification effort.
The 30 winning applications were chosen from a field of 154, one
of the largest application pools in the program’s history.
“The growing number of applicants indicates the level of demand for basic health research,” said C.
Michael Carolina, executive director of OCAST. “Many of the successful applicants will attract private
and federal research dollars to Oklahoma – a major factor in Oklahoma's growing reputation as a
supporter of health research. Improved health and high-wage and high-skill jobs are follow-ons to
this investment.”
The purpose of the Health Research program is to: (1) strengthen the competitiveness of Oklahoma
health researchers for national research funds; (2) recruit and retain outstanding health research
scientists for the state; (3) improve health care for Oklahomans; and (4) strengthen the state’s health
care industry. Research funded under the program investigates the causes, diagnosis, treatment and
prevention of human diseases and disabilities and facilitates the development of innovative health
care products and services.
