The Ohio State University has recently released its annual research numbers and it's looking good for all the Buckeyes out there.

Ranking 12^thin the nation, beating colleges like Yale and Harvard, Ohio State has proven its prowess as a research institution.

However, this comes after a year of rocky conditions for researchers in the United States.

From funding cuts to programs like the National Science Foundation, how is the state of research in the United States, and where does the state of Ohio fit into it?
