Mentor Resources, Research Databases, and Library Tools

On this page:

A variety of websites can help you find information about potential research mentors at Boonshoft School of Medicine. No single site has all the information you may need. Using several of the sites listed below should enable you to identify particular BSOM departments and faculty with research projects in fields that interest you.

Wright State University Resources

  • Research Activities Database: The Office of Research Affairs manages a Research Activities Database containing a variety of information to help medical students and professionals at BSOM find success in their research endeavors. The database contains information on finding a research mentor, creating research posters, presenting research projects, and more! Wright state login is required for access.
  • AMSAxBSOM Student- Run Research Collaborative: This website is run and maintained by a student group, the AMSAxBSOM Research Collaborative. Here, you can find ongoing research projects, explore mentors in various departments, discover student driven grants, and other exciting resources. Are you a primary investigator or faculty member looking for student help on a research project? This site can even help you find those students you’re looking for!
  • Boonshoft School of Medicine Centers and Departments: This webpage provides links to all medical school departments and divisions. Follow the links for basic contact information. Many department web pages link to detailed information about individual faculty, including contact information and research interests.
  • Boonshoft School of Medicine Department Annual Reports: Each department’s annual report is available here in a downloadable format. The annual reports document faculty scholarly activities such as publications, presentations, and research funding. Look here for information about research projects supported by our teaching hospitals which may not be documented in other Wright State University sources.
  • Wright State University People Directory: If you know the name of a potential research mentor, use this site to find his/her faculty title and contact information. Note: all fully–affiliated faculty are assigned Wright State email addresses, but some use hospital email addresses instead. You may want to contact the faculty member’s department to be sure you have the best email address.

Research Databases

  • PubMed: PubMed comprises more than 20 million citations for biomedical literature from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books. Citations may include links to full-text content from PubMed Central and publisher web sites. The database can be searched for keywords, specific researchers, and institutions.
  • ClinicalTrials.gov: ClinicalTrials.gov is a registry of federally and privately supported clinical trials conducted in the United States and around the world. ClinicalTrials.gov gives you information about a trial's purpose, who may participate, locations, and phone numbers for more details. Find trials for a specific medical condition or other criteria, including geographic location. The registry contains more than 100,000 trials with locations in 174 countries.
