Plain Dealer: State grants over $143 million to get top researchers

— Ohio took a bold step Tuesday in its efforts to bolster its economy and the research at its universities, granting more than $143 million to attract world-class scholars.

The state’s Third Frontier Commission and University System of Ohio want 10 university collaborations to get the money so they can woo researchers and their federal research grants and staff members to Ohio.
