Welcome!

The Ohio Collaborative is a research and policy analysis center committed to conducting and disseminating research that can improve schools and the lives of children and families.

Funded initially by The Ohio Board of Regents, the primary goals of The Ohio Collaborative are guided by the policy and research questions that face major state entities such as the Ohio Legislature and the Governor's Office, the Ohio Department of Education, the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, and the Ohio Board of Regents. Additionally, the Collaborative provides information and assistance to Ohio's school districts, especially those that serve lower socio-economic areas.

The work of the Ohio Collaborative is carried out in partnership with faculty and graduate associates throughout the state of Ohio college and university system and under the administration of the Ohio State University.
