UCARE

The Undergraduate Creative Activites and Research Experiences program is sponsored at UNL by Pepsi. The goal of the program is to provide a stipend for students of all fields to do research with appropriate faculty chosen by the student. Many students begin the program in their sophomore or junior year and are eligible for two years. Please check the UCARE web site for details and applications.

Given below are current biochemistry students involved in the UCARE program. Although students are encouraged to select a faculty member in the Biochemistry Department, you have to opportunity to work with any faculty sponsor on campus.
