The Charles A. Dice Center for Research in Financial Economics mission is to use its resources to promote excellence in finance research at The Ohio State University and is housed in the Department of Finance. The Center supports the junior and senior faculty with supplemental grants to be used for datasets, research related travel, subscriptions, and equipment. The Center is especially interested in sponsoring research (by faculty and PhD students) which is of importance to the financial community of the United States.

The Center for Real Estate Education and Research serves as a focal point for involvement of both The Ohio State University faculty from various disciplines and faculty from other colleges and universities in real estate research and education-related projects.
