The Water Resources Center
The Water Resources Center is the hub of water-related research and extension activities in Oklahoma. This center is comprised of the Oklahoma Water Resources Research Institute and DASNR's Water Research and Extension Center, which focuses on efforts to sustain Oklahoma’s agriculture water supply.

There is a strong need for development, delivery and accessibility of science-based information related to water management issues.  These issues include improved soil management practices, irrigation methods, efficiency of farm water storage and transport of water, as well as an overall economic assessment of agricultural enterprises to allow owners and operators to manage existing water supplies more prudently.

The Biobased Products and Energy Center
The Biobased Products and Energy Center is a center created to better meet ever-increasing demands for the Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources's (DASNR) scientific expertise regarding biofuels.

DASNR has been involved in biofuels development since the early 1990s, and formed a biofuels nonfood cellulosic team in 1998. DASNR has since been a national leader in examining and developing everything from potential biomass feedstocks to energy production systems, to economic, social and environmental considerations.

Division officials view the center as the next logical step in focusing multi-disciplinary efforts related to biofuels development not only within DASNR but across the state and nation.

National Institute for Microbial Forensics & Food and Agricultural Biosecurity (NIMFFAB)
NIMFAB assess current national capabilities in microbial forensics as related to plant pathogens and food safety.
They provide strategic planning, a long-range vision and prioritization of needs and resources related to plant and food-related microbial forensics and agricultural biosecurity.

NIMFAB has worked to establish a coalition of national and state investigators conducting research on crop and food biosecurity and forensics issues.  They serve as a focal point for communication, cooperation, collaboration, funding initiatives, and outreach related to crop and food biosecurity and microbial forensics. NIMFAB also develops educational (coursework) and training (workshops) opportunities related to agricultural microbial forensics for students and stakeholders, in cooperation with OSU-CHS (Tulsa) and other State and National agencies and entities.
