The Midwest Region comprises Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Within this region, more than 30 facilities conduct federal research and development in a wide range of areas. From the examination of the smallest particles in the universe to the development of new engine lubricants to alternative manufacturing processes, each facility in the Midwest Region is involved in expanding the bounds of knowledge and our nation's technical capabilities.
The Midwest Region's mission is to link government scientists with each other and with appropriate commercial, industrial, and academic partners so that technologies developed in federal laboratories may be widely disseminated throughout the region, the nation, and the world. It accomplishes this mission through outreach at conferences and visits to the laboratories; the Midwest Region roundtable email list and website; the publication of informational brochures and a quarterly newsletter; and the development of training materials for three distinct groups of people: private sector partners, government scientists, and technology transfer professionals.
