Applications are open for the 2025 Hayes Research Forum. Students looking to apply have until December 9 (TONIGHT) at 11:59 p.m. to submit their abstracts.

Eligibility – Graduate Students

• All graduate students in good standing with the Graduate School, who are enrolled for the academic term in which the forum is held, in a degree-granting program are eligible to participate.
• The individual submitting the abstract must be its primary author: The research must be based on the graduate student’s substantive ideas and must be a direct product of their work.
• Students who participated in a previous forum are eligible to re-enter (whether or not a prize was received); however, they must be presenting different research or a substantially different aspect of the same research.

Eligibility – Postdoctoral Scholars

• A current postdoctoral scholar or the equivalent at Ohio State
• Must be able to identify an Ohio State faculty member as an advisor/mentor. The Hayes Research Committee will reach out to this faculty member to confirm that the postdoctoral scholar may share the work as described in the abstract.
• The abstract and work being presented must have been generated during the scholar’s postdoctoral training at Ohio State.
