Wright State Research Institute LogoA university research corporation in Ohio says it will be the lead agency in a $49 million effort to strengthen the relationship between the Air Force and businesses and universities.

Wright State Applied Research Corporation says in a release that it’s been selected to lead the U.S. Air Force Academic Partnership and Engagement Experiment. The corporation says the program is meant to “improve connections between the Air Force, academia, and industry across the United States.”
