The Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology announced today it has approved 10 of 33 applications for more than $2 million in funding from the Oklahoma Applied Research Support program.

The OCAST governing board approved the 10 successful applicants after considering recommendations from the peer review team made up of scientists and experts chosen from around the nation.

OCAST officials said peer review is the internationally accepted method for evaluating research and development projects vying for public funds. The peer review team considers the likelihood for commercialization and quality science as criteria.

Michael Carolina, executive director of OCAST, described approval of the 10 projects as “another important step in Oklahoma’s patient long-term investment in technology-based economic development.

“We want to help Oklahoma researchers to develop wealth and job-producing technologies for our state’s future,” Carolina said in a statement.

The research will be conducted for the next three years. Eight other projects were favorably qualified by the peer review process but were victims of budget limits.

The applied research award winners include the following:
