About the Event

Research Day at the Capitol was established over 20 years ago to showcase the outstanding undergraduate research being conducted at Oklahoma’s colleges and universities in the areas of science (including social science), technology, engineering, and mathematics. This event is sponsored by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, Oklahoma Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (OK EPSCoR), and the National Science Foundation.

Nomination Guidelines

All Oklahoma colleges and universities are invited to nominate one outstanding research project conducted by an undergraduate student who is currently enrolled at their institution(s). Institutions eligible to nominate more than one research project are:  OU-Norman may nominate two; OU Health Sciences Center may nominate two; Oklahoma State University may nominate four; The University of Tulsa may nominate two. Nominations are distributed in this manner because some campuses have multiple colleges conducting research.
