Research and Sponsored Programs
40th Annual CSU Student Research Competition

Undergraduate or graduate students currently enrolled at any CSU campus and alumni/alumnae who received their degrees in winter, spring, summer or fall 2025, or winter 2026 are eligible. The research presented should be appropriate to the student’s discipline and career goals. Proprietary research is excluded.
Presentations from all disciplines are welcome. There will be separate undergraduate
and
graduate divisions for each category (unless a division has four or fewer entrants,
in which case
the divisions may be combined).

- Biological and Agricultural Sciences
- Business, Economics and Hospitality Management
- Creative Arts and Design
- Education
- Engineering and Computer Science
- Health, Nutrition and Clinical Sciences
- Humanities and Letters
- Physical and Mathematical Sciences
Each CSU campus appoints a campus coordinator and develops its own procedures for
selecting
student delegates to the systemwide competition. Interested students should contact
their campus
coordinator for more information. Only those students endorsed by the campus coordinator
can
enter the systemwide competition.
The internal competition for Fresno State is being managed via InfoReady.
