Kylie Beard of Nelson is among 200 Husker undergraduates who have been awarded stipends by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to participate in research with a faculty mentor this fall.
Beard, a junior majoring in animal science, will participate in the project “Endocrine Comparison of the Follicular Phase of the Estrous Cycle Between GnRH-II Receptor Knockdown and Litter Mate Control Gilts” as part of Nebraska’s Undergraduate Creative Activities and Research Experiences program, which supports undergraduates to work with faculty mentors in research or creative activities. Students receive stipends of $3,600 to engage in intensive research or creative activity for 10 hours per week. The students’ projects span academic disciplines including engineering, chemistry, modern languages and literatures, psychology, art and art history, architecture, special education and fisheries and wildlife.
UCARE participants will present posters on their research and creative activities during Student Research Days, April 15 and 16 at the Nebraska Union. For more information on undergraduate research at Nebraska, visit https://ucare.unl.edu
