Conclusions

Our experiences suggest the viability of the Ohio Research Fellows approach to public-academic collaboration. This approach to research collaboration is appropriate for states with established research programs as well as state mental health departments with limited resources that may be reluctant to apply for other types of public-academic opportunities. Moreover, the Ohio Research Fellows Program approach may also be cited by administrators or policymakers who wish to advocate at the federal level for increased funding of a greater variety of state initiated approaches to public-academic liaison. Funds may be allocated to assist states in tailoring efforts at public-academic collaboration to their individual needs using aspects of the Ohio Research Fellows approach.
