Oklahoma Innovation Institute Inc

Programs: Tulsa research partners (trp), the cornerstone program of the oklahoma innovation institute (oii), represents an historic, collaborative, multidisciplinary research partnership formed by the university of tulsa, oklahoma university- tulsa, oklahoma state university- tulsa and tulsa community college. The tulsa research partners initiative is designed to drive economic growth through three research-centered objectives: 1) to encourage and support collaborative, multidisciplinary research among colleges, universities, and private sector research groups; 2) to facilitate technology transfer relating to a "grow your own" startup company culture in the region and (3) to attract new major, research funding to the region. This is supported by the a. R. And mary louise tandy community supercomputing center, which houses one of the nation's most advanced community supercomputers. The function of this community supercomputer is to provide common infrastructure for collaborative research and development, to identify large-scale multidisciplinary research funding, investigator pairing and ultimately grant writing support. By providing a forum to support the growing community of researchers in our region, the tandy supercomputing center will support the transition of scientific research and technologies to commercially viable products and solutions.

the tandy supercomputing center fellowship program offers research fellowships to graduate students pursuing advanced degrees in science and engineering fields that have a need for high performance computing to advance their research, whose areas of research have potential for significant commercialization opportunities. The tscf program is subject to annual renewal up to three years, and usable over a five-year period from the initial date the fellowship is granted. Renewal or termination of the fellowship depends solely on oii's evaluation of the fellows' academic performance and compliance with the terms of the tscf program during the respective year. The tscf program comprises several components: (a) a program of study, (b) a professional practicum, and (c) public presentation of research findings at tulsa research partners day.

through june 30, 2016, oii functioned as a netural convener, facilitator and strategic advisor of the tulsa regional stem alliance, a collaborative alliance of over 80 stem organizations throughout the state to share resources and substantially impact the effective delivery of stem education and programs.
