The University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s Undergraduate Creative Activities and Research Experience program is now accepting applications for Summer 2021 and Academic Year 2021-22 through Feb. 15.

Participants in the UCARE program receive a $2,400 research stipend and experience learning with a faculty adviser on a research or creative activity project. Applications are due Feb. 15 and must be submitted through NuRamp.

Recipients commit to 20 hours per week from June through August for Summer UCARE or 10 hours per week from September through April for Academic Year UCARE. All UCARE participants present their research or creative activity at either the Nebraska Summer Research Symposium in August 2021 or the Nebraska Research Days in April 2022. Skill-building seminars on topics like graduate school preparation and professional presentation skills are offered to enhance the UCARE experience.

Students must confirm a project and faculty adviser before applying. Visit the UCARE website for full eligibility requirements and to learn more about identifying a faculty adviser or developing a research proposal under the guidance of the faculty adviser.

Projects from all colleges and disciplines are highly encouraged. If you are unsure how to develop a UCARE project in your field, contact Justina Clark to discuss research or creative interests.

Questions and requests for an appointment also can be sent to ucare@unl.edu or via MyPLAN with Justina Clark from the Office of Undergraduate Research.
