Specifically, the overall objective of the physical science portion of the Wright Centers Award is to strengthen Ohio's national and global position m four physical science core competencies that the state currently possesses: mformation technology; power and propulsion; advanced materials; and rnstntments, controls, and electronics. The Ohio Department of Development asked the National Academies to conduct an independent technical and program review of the nine proposals submitted in response to an RFP issued for the FY2005 award program with an emphasis on the proposals' commercial potential.
