University of Kentucky College of Arts and Sciences students awarded CURE Fellowships

The University of Kentucky Office of Undergraduate Research has selected 14 students for the 2024 Commonwealth Undergraduate Research Experience Fellowship program.

Sponsored by OUR and the Office of the Vice President for Research, the CURE Fellowship program provides opportunities to develop knowledge and skills through research within eight of UK's Research Priority Areas: cancer, cardiovascular health, diabetes and obesity, energy, equity, materials science, neuroscience and substance use disorder.

Students selected as CURE Fellows received a $5,000 stipend to support their research during the summer 2024 term. Fellows will engage in a research project under the guidance of a mentor. Students will interact with the other fellows in their cohort during the summer research period and present their research at the Summer Research Symposium on Aug. 27.
