About Us

The National Research Institute for College Recreational Sports and Wellness is a collaboration between The Ohio State University Department of Recreational Sports and the National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association (NIRSA). The collaborative institute, housed at Ohio State, is partially financially and otherwise supported by both parties.

In order to ensure that both the interests of The Ohio State University Department of Recreational Sports and NIRSA’s interests are protected, an advisory board was established consisting of 13 members.
