The Ohio Third Frontier has been in the news quite a bit lately.  Check out this "Third Frontier Fact Sheet" from January 2010 for more information on this innovative partnership.

I recently visited some folks in Barberton, and I found out about this great organization called "The Giving Doll."  This group of volunteers hand makes dolls to give to those children in need, and they can really make a difference in a young child's life.

Right now, The Giving Doll group is in need of volunteers to help make the dolls, as well as materials to construct them such as poly fil, hair colored yarn, woven cotton and cotton blend fabric.  They hold Giving Doll groups across the area that you can join to help.

Please check out their website at www.thegivingdoll.com for more information or to find out how you can help!

Here is some interesting information I found from the Ohio Third Frontier website:

"The Ohio Third Frontier represents an unprecedented and bipartisan commitment to expand Ohio's technological strengths and promote commercialization that leads to economic prosperity throughout Ohio. Designed to build world-class research programs, nurture early-stage companies, and foster technology development that makes existing industries more productive, Ohio Third Frontier creates opportunity through innovation.

"Ohio's $1.6 billion Third Frontier initiative is a comprehensive, professionally run effort to build world-class research capacity, promote interaction between research and industry, and commercialize R&D."
- National Governor's Association and Pew Center for the States

Ohio Third Frontier targets its investments to support technology areas that represent Ohio's key competitive opportunities:

  • Advanced and Alternative Energy
  • Biomedical
  • Advanced Materials
  • Instruments - Controls - Electronics
  • Advanced Propulsion"
