Apply here to do research on physics students & instructors at OSU.
We receive a large number of requests for OSU physics community members to participate in research projects. We also have our own thriving PER efforts that routinely collect data from our courses. The application process helps our PER Coordination Committee prioritize research requests. Our goals are to protect students and instructors from being overwhelmed with research requests and ensure that researchers can expect high quality data and high levels of participation.
See our department policy here.
Anyone who wants to recruit physics students or instructors for their research projects, or study physics courses or instruction at OSU needs to apply. This includes:
You do not need to apply if you are an OSU physics faculty member doing routine program assessment.
The PER coordination committee will meet 1 week before the start of each term to finalize approval for projects for that term. Projects that are approved in previous terms are not guaranteed renewal for subsequent terms (although continuity will be a factor in giving projects priority). You may submit an application after the start of term, but applications received after the term starts are not guaranteed review.
