Research

In August, the National Research Institute for College Recreational Sports & Wellness, in Partnership with NIRSA, was formally opened in The Ohio State University's new Recreation and Physical Activity Center (RPAC).

The Research Institute will provide the infrastructure needed to conduct, report, and teach research skills. It will provide data needed to defend recreational sports' existence, align for further growth, and to make superior decisions regarding programs, services, and facilities. Ultimately, this will lead to an enhanced quality of life for those involved in college recreational sports. See the mission, vision and values of the Institute on the Web site.
