The 38th Hayes Forum will be held Friday, March 1st, 2024 from 8:00am - 3:30pm ET.
The Edward F. Hayes Advanced Research Forum (formerly the Edward F. Hayes Graduate Research Forum) showcases the innovative and exemplary research being conducted by Ohio State graduate students and postdoctoral scholars across the full range of graduate degree programs and research topics and facilitates fruitful exchanges between graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, faculty, the administration, and the public.
Hayes 2024 will be the third year that postdoctoral scholars will have the opportunity to present. Cash prizes, totaling more than $17,000, will be awarded to the top-judged presentations in each academic area for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. There will be separate sessions for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars.
The forum is co-sponsored by the Council of Graduate Students, the Graduate School, the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs, and the Enterprise for Research, Innovation, and Knowledge (ERIK), with additional organizational and operational support from the Office of Student Life.
