2009 Beckman Scholars
Ohio State is one of nine universities nationally to receive a 2009 grant from the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation that supports independent research by outstanding undergraduates.
Undergraduate Beckman Scholars receive $16,000 while conducting independent research with a faculty member in chemistry, biochemistry, or biomedical science, plus additional funds for supplies and travel.
Scholars work fulltime on their research during two summers and part-time during the regular academic year. They are able to take advantage of far-reaching professional opportunities as part of a tightly-connected community of enthusiastic peers and mentors. They will present their research at Ohio State’s Denman Research Forum and at the Beckman Scholars Research Foundation in Irvine, California.
NMS faculty advisors are: Gustavo Leone, medical science; Heather Allen, Malcolm Chisholm, Anne McCoy, Jonathan Parquette, and Patrick Woodward, chemistry; Michael Chan, Jane Jackman, Mark Foster, Venkat Gopalan, and Jennifer Ottesen, biochemistry.
