Welcome to the website for the 28th annual OHSU Student Research Forum!
The Student Research Forum (SRF) is a celebration of student research in all OHSU schools and disciplines. This year’s forum will host a keynote speaker, student research oral presentations, and a large cross-disciplinary poster reception. The event will also be a teaching and outreach opportunity, as high school students and undergraduates from across the Portland area will be attending. All research presentations and the keynote address will take place in the OHSU Old Library, and a closing awards gala will be held for all participants and their mentors on the evening of May 13th in the Vey Conference Center, on the the south end of the 11th floor in Doernbecher Children’s Hospital, near Veteran’s Hospital Road.
We invite students from SON, SOD, SOM, and College of Pharmacy to present research from any research field from engineering or policy design to genetics or symptom management! The oral presentations themes have yet to be decided, but they will encompass a range of research priorities at OHSU. There will also be one all-inclusive poster reception the evening of May 12th. The goal of these sessions is to bring together OHSU students with diverse expertise to present and discuss recent discoveries, studies, tools, and medical advances on their topics of interest.
Each oral presentation session has space for 5 presenters, with categories to be decided when all abstracts have been submitted. The total number of oral presentations will be limited to 70, as will the total number of posters accepted. All sessions will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Conference registration and abstract submission are available here. NEW THIS YEAR: For the first time, students may elect to deposit their abstract, poster or talk into the Digital Student Archive! For more information, please contact Jackie at wirzj@ohsu.edu.
The Student Research Forum has grown immensely in the last few years, and we hope it will continue to do so with the financial and moral support of numerous OHSU students, faculty, staff, research institutes, clinical and academic departments, and local businesses and industry. We are deeply grateful for all who support the forum with your time, resources, and enthusiasm! If you would like to get involved, it's not too late! Please contact us for more information.
We hope to see many OHSU staff, faculty, students, and administration at the 28th Annual OHSU Student Research Forum. Please join us on May 12-13th.
See you there!
