Welcome to the 2023 Summer Research Program! Below, find important information, events, and profiles of some of our student researchers.
The 2023 SRP program runs from May 31 to August 4, with an all-day conference scheduled for Wednesday, August 2.
Find events, deadlines, and other important information for each week below.
CITI Ethics Training: This is required for all program participants: send your certificate of completion to urc@oxy.edu. (instructions emailed with contract)
Human Subjects Research: If your project requires review by the Human Subjects Research Review Committee or the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, begin the process of getting that approval ASAP. Please note you cannot begin your research until this approval has been granted, and you will not receive a stipend check until that process is complete. If you are working with non-human animals, please speak with your mentor about the status of your approval. If your project has been approved e-mail your approval form to urc@oxy.edu. For questions, please contact them directly at hsrrc@oxy.edu. The HSRRC will not be meeting during the summer: you must submit your application for approval no later than mid-April.
Accounts Payable: All SRP participants are encouraged to sign up for the Accounts Payable direct deposit before the start of the program (May 31st). Please note if you were employed in the academic year and were enrolled in direct deposit payments those are different than the accounts payable direct deposit. If you do not sign up for AP direct deposit your check will be mailed to your address on file within 3-5 business days after the pay date.

End of SRP Conference
Mark your calendars! The end of the Summer Research Program conference will take place on August 2nd. Plan accordingly to be present at the all-day conference for your presentation, as well as, to support your peers.
Each SRP participant is expected to present their research at the conference individually and cannot do a joint presentation. However, you can request to present in the same session if you are working in a group. You can present a talk, a poster, or exhibit/perform your work. Talks will be grouped into colloquia consisting of 3-4 talks per session, with each session lasting 15 minutes, including 10 minutes for the presentation and 5 minutes for Q&A. Posters will be displayed in two sessions of 45-60 minutes, exhibits/ performances will be scheduled as required by the nature of the work.
To indicate the format of your presentation (talk, poster, exhibit), your name as you would like it to appear on the program, and the title of your presentation, complete the conference presentation form by Tuesday, July 12th. Before submission, we recommend that you meet with your mentor to discuss the details of your presentation. Once approved, please make sure that your title is free of spelling and grammar errors as it will appear in the program exactly as you type it.
