Eligibility
Determining eligibility:
You are eligible to present at the OSUWMC College of Medicine Trainee Research Day if you meet the following two criteria:
- You are a student in a College of Medicine training program (Undergraduate Programs including HRS, COM Graduate Program including HRS, OSU MD program, the OSU Medical Scientist Program, OSUWMC residency/fellowship or Postdoc program) performing hypothesis driven research with a College of Medicine Faculty member.
- If yes, continue to the next question.
- If not, you are not eligible to present at Research Day.
Was this research conducted at The Ohio State University Medical Center, College of Medicine or Nationwide Children’s Hospital?
- If yes, continue to the next question. If not, the advisor on the abstract must be the College of Medicine faculty.
Please determine your trainee status as of February 1. If you do not fit into one of the following trainee categories, you may not be eligible to present at Research Day:
As of February 1, will you be pursuing an undergraduate degree in the School of Health and Rehabilitation (HRS) or the Undergraduate Biomedical Science Major (BMS)?
- If yes, select Undergraduate student as your trainee level when submitting your abstract.

Poster Judging
All College of Medicine students, fellows, and trainees who are eligible to participate in Research Day are also qualified to take part in the poster competition. Winners of the competition receive a substantial travel award to apply toward the cost of attending a scientific meeting of their choice.
Presenters may not submit more than one poster.
The judging staff typically comprises OSU Medical Center faculty; however, Battelle researchers and invited keynote speakers have also participated in past years. On the day of the event, the judges will review posters and completing a score sheet. The score sheets, which are based on a given set of criteria, are then tallied and the travel awards given to individuals with the highest scores within each category -- Graduate Students, PREP Scholars/Undergraduate students, MD-PhD (Medical Scientist) Students, Medical Students, Postdoctoral Trainees, and Residents/Clinical Fellows.
Travel awards are funded by the College of Medicine Office of Medical Education. The award may be used immediately by the award winner to attend a scientific meeting of his or her choice. However, awards may be used to attend only meetings that are held after the date of issuance of the award and within one year of the date of issuance of the award.
Awards may be redeemed by completing and submitting the necessary forms prior to attending the selected meeting. ResearchDay@osumc.edu

2021 Research Day Award Winners
2021 Research Mentor of the Year Award
Ken Oestrich, PhD
Associate Professor, Microbial Infection and Immunity
His laboratory focuses on better understanding how environmental signals and transcription factors govern cellular differentiation and function in the immune system. The formation of the immune system is entirely dependent on the ability of numerous cell types to arise from a common progenitor. Developmental transcription factors are necessary for regulating the cell-type-specific gene expression patterns dictating the phenotype of each of these unique cells. Unfortunately, mutations in these key factors often lead to their improper function, resulting in cancer and autoimmune disease. Therefore, it is critically important to understand the molecular mechanisms by which transcription factors direct cell-specific gene expression profiles.
