The Undergraduate Creative Activities and Research Experience (UCARE) program is a paid opportunity to work alongside a world-class UNL faculty mentor and conduct cutting-edge research that will shape the future of Nebraska and beyond.
UCARE student applicants write a proposal to conduct a research or creative project under the guidance of a faculty mentor. The program supports original work in every field and major, ranging from agriculture, arts, architecture, education, engineering, humanities, journalism, and sciences.
The UCARE program supports student researchers with professional development workshops, two annual research symposium events, and access to travel or supplies funding.
