Research
Improving the human condition
We carry out OSU’s land-grant mission and support people across the lifespan through
research by creating new knowledge in the areas of health promotion, disease prevention,
education, design and aviation. Our specific expertise includes children, parents
and families, schools and teachers, nutrition, flight safety, fire-protective clothing
and more.
Online research portal
The Office of Research and Graduate Studies routinely solicits proposals for competitive
internal funding opportunities to support faculty-led research programs. In addition
to funding opportunities, the college also coordinates nominations for college and
some university-level awards. Applications are submitted via CEHS's InfoReady online
portal.
Student research opportunities
Students gain research experience working alongside faculty and are empowered to conduct
their own, independent research projects with a mentor. Undergraduate students participate
in OSU’s Freshman Research Scholars program and may apply for Wentz Research Grants. Graduate students attend and present at national conferences, participate in research
competitions and earn financial awards to support their work.
By the numbersWe continually strive to increase our annual research impact.
