College of Medicine ASPIRE Program

by at

The ASPIRE program  is a pathway opportunity presented by Ohio State University’s College of Medicine, Physician Scientist Education Training program.

As an initiative of the Medical Science Training Program, the ASPIRE Medical Research Program’s mission is to support undergraduate students whose backgrounds have not afforded them the opportunity to engage in the health sciences. The program provides participants with mentorship, research experience in world-class laboratories, and personal and academic support to prepare them for advanced education and careers as health care providers.

ASPIRE is open to current Ohio State University sophomores and juniors with a GPA of 3.0 or higher.

This is a 12 month commitment beginning with summer semester and continuing through the following spring semester; you must have at least 12 months remaining in your undergraduate education to participate.

All interested students are encouraged to apply, including:

  • Students with disabilities, defined as those with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities
  • Students from economically and/or educationally disadvantaged backgrounds
  • First generation college students
  • Students who have overcome economic or educational obstacles in obtaining higher education
  • Students interested in pursuing a dual degree MD/PhD program

Students will begin the program in summer 2025 spending 10 weeks (38 hours a week) conducting research with a principal investigator (PI). The PI and the student may choose to extend the experience into the academic year and beyond.

In the ASPIRE Medical Research program, students can expect to:

  • Develop skills and research experiences that will help them stand out on applications for graduate or professional health science programs,
  • Connect with students and Ohio State faculty from diverse backgrounds with similar interests, and
  • Build and nurture professional relationships that will serve them at Ohio State and beyond.

Eligible students are encouraged to learn more and apply online by January 15, 2025.
