The Ohio State University Research Foundation (OSURF) Technical Reports contain annual and monthly progress reports (interim, final, technical, etc.) on research projects coordinated by the Foundation. Later projects also contain reports on research projects that were created out of the original research project, and may not relate directly back to the original research topic. Topics and sponsors of projects vary widely. The project number appears before each project description, with the reports corresponding to the project listed beneath each of these numbered descriptions. The materials date from 1935-1994.
