- Our Approach
Connecting Knowledge to Action
Ohio has deep expertise and committed people across healthcare, education, research, business, workforce development, public policy and community life. But the systems that influence brain health and brain skills often operate separately.
The Ohio Brain Capital Alliance creates a shared brain-capital lens for connecting these efforts. We make credible knowledge more useful, bring people and ideas together and help shared priorities move toward coordinated action.
- Core Functions
How We Work
OBCA advances brain health and brain skills across the lifespan through four connected functions:
01
Translate
We turn credible research into knowledge that people, organizations and decision-makers can understand and use.
02
Educate
We make brain health and brain skills understandable, relevant and actionable in everyday life.
03
Connect
We bring together people and organizations whose work influences Ohio's brain capital so they can share knowledge, identify common priorities and explore opportunities to collaborate.
04
Catalyze
We help move shared knowledge and promising ideas toward coordinated action, learning and measurable impact.
- Our Framework
Workforce & Economic Prosperity for Ohio
OBCA’s framework connects two reinforcing areas of focus: Health & Well-Being and Education, Arts & Lifelong Learning. Research & Innovation, Public Policy and Strategic Partnerships support both areas and help translate knowledge into action. Together, they are intended to strengthen human potential, workforce readiness and long-term prosperity across Ohio.
- Participation
Progress Requires Many Perspectives
OBCA’s approach is intentionally collaborative and multidisciplinary. Whether you bring lived experience, professional expertise, organizational reach, research, data, funding or a willingness to share useful information, you can help strengthen Ohio’s brain capital.
The most meaningful opportunities will grow from people and organizations seeing their role in the bigger picture – and choosing to build something impactful together.
