Strategic partnerships Leverage OSU ecosystem to co-create research initiatives and industry collaborations, presenting LPI as a gateway for joint projects with universities, government labs, and private sector partners seeking nutrition and bioinformatics expertise.

Research infrastructure Capitalize on high-level funding and recent capacity expansion in related OSU assets (e.g., supercomputing center) by offering data analytics, cloud-based HPC, and AI-driven nutrition research solutions that align with ongoing large-scale projects.

Scientific credibility Align outreach and sales narratives with the institute’s evidence-based health information mission to position complementary services (education platforms, dissemination tools, compliance-grade data services) to researchers and public-health collaborators.

Targeted tech Highlight the current tech stack and propose modernization or integration services (Azure AI, Docker, cloud media, data pipelines) to streamline research workflows, data sharing, and publication readiness for nutrition science teams.

Funding avenues Identify grant-friendly opportunities and sponsorships with OSU-affiliated entities and health-focused philanthropic programs, offering tailored partnerships around nutrition science, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals research.
