Office of Student Research (OSR)
The mission of the Office of Student Research is to provide a resource to the School of Medicine, University campus and community through which medical students and faculty as well as K-12, undergraduate and graduate students, and K-12 science and mathematics teachers can avail themselves of research experiences and improve their scientific background.
The programs offered by the Office of Student Research provide prospective trainees with primary or advanced experiences in biomedical and behavioral research both at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and at our foreign research sites. These experiences will afford trainees with a realistic understanding of the research environment, contact with appropriate role models, requirements and applications processes for professional and graduate school, and potential collaborative arrangements for faculty trainees.
Our programs will nurture those with a growing interest in a research career or a combined program in the health professions and research. The program will provide trainees with the skills and contacts needed to advance beyond their current level as well as an understanding of the ethical and responsible conduct of research.
The Office of Student Research is committed to broadening research opportunities for all students and faculty so that the research and clinical faculty are reflective of the broader community in which we reside.
