Internet security, breast cancer, substance abuse treatment… these are just a few of a wide range of interesting research projects that will be on display Monday, March 29, from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the fourth floor rotunda of the State Capitol.

Research Day at the Capitol is a celebration of the excellent undergraduate student research that is conducted on Oklahoma’s college campuses. It is an annual event sponsored by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, the Oklahoma Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) and the National Science Foundation.

Twenty student researchers from throughout the state have prepared poster summaries of their work and will compete for a research internship and cash prizes that will be awarded by Gov. Brad Henry, State Regent John Massey and higher education Chancellor Paul Risser at noon on March 29 in the governor’s Second Floor Conference Room.
