Research Outreach & Events

Research Outreach

The office of Research hosts the OKStars & Native OKStars programs every summer for local high school juniors and seniors and regularly visits local K-12 schools and after-school programs along with the BSGSA to educate local students on the purpose and importance of biomedical research.

• OKStars Program

  The OKStars Program provides high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to participate in cutting-edge research. The program includes in-depth work with a research team, access to modern instrumentation and potential opportunities to participate in publications and presentations. Learn More

• Native OKStars Program
  The Native OKStars program accepts applications from local Native American high school students and allows these students to conduct research with a Native primary investigator typically focusing their research efforts on studying tribal health. The students in Native OKStars receive the same opportunities as those in OKStars but the projects for Native OKStars students differ from OKStars in that they often have the opportunity to work with local tribal doctors off-site and contribute to tribal affiliated research projects.

• BSGSA Outreach
  The Biomedical Science Graduate Student Association at OSU CHS participates in STEM outreach and educational events. The BSGSA visits local schools and after school programs to provide grant-funded labs that teach elementary, middle, and high school students about biomedical science and research. The BSGSA also visits local high school clubs and classrooms to explain the importance of their research and biomedical research for future students. Learn More
