Research Capital of the Plains
Oklahoma is working to become the Research Capital of the Plains. The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education have been actively increasing financial support for Oklahoma higher education research programs and encouraging public institutions to capitalize on research and technological opportunities.
In addition to awarding millions in matching funds to leverage federal grants, the State Regents have also supported Oklahoma's technological advancement through the enhancement of OneNet, the state's telecommunications and information network. OneNet serves a vital role in research by providing access to one of the world’s most advanced networks – the National LambdaRail.
As the state strives to aggressively compete in a global market, Oklahoma higher education continues to develop programs and secure funding that bring cutting-edge technology and research to our state.
