The Richard J. and Martha D. Denman Undergraduate Research Forum is an annual event that showcases research projects from the brightest undergraduates at Ohio State. Since 1995, the Denmans have supported this forum and continue to promote Ohio State as alumni.
The Denman Forum provides an opportunity for graduating student researchers to share their research endeavors with the broader community. This is our only competitive poster forum in which winners are recognized in each category as determined by faculty, staff, and Denman alumni reviewers. Students will be reviewed on their ability to communicate their research process and results effectively in both their written poster content and accompanying oral presentation. During the Denman Forum, we celebrate not only the hard work of these students, but also the dedication of their faculty research mentors.
In addition to the generous awards provided by the Denmans, Office of Academic Enrichment also partners with several organizations to award discipline-specific prizes, including the Infectious Disease Institute, Center for Ethics and Human Values, Sustainability Institute, and Ohio Academy of Sciences. Students researching topics related to these fields are especially encouraged to apply to present at the Denman Forum!
