Structured Research Programs

Research programs are structured opportunities which do not require students to have a project or research advisor already. Students are matched with or asked to choose a project and research advisor.

Expand the drop down list below to see our non-exhaustive list of Ohio State research programs. As many of these programs are in the summer, they are ideal for students who may not be able to conduct research during the academic year or are interested in a short-term research experience. The majority of these program offer students funding or a stipend. Looking for a paid research opportunity on campus or seeking funding and professional development?
