Description
Nebraska EPSCoR’s Small Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Research Experiences (SCURE) Awards provide research opportunities for undergraduates at small public and private Nebraska colleges and universities. Funded through an NSF infrastructure grant to Nebraska EPSCoR, the program aims to increase the pool of students choosing careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. It builds on the role of undergraduate research participation in encouraging interest in graduate and professional degrees.
SCURE supports projects that involve undergraduate students in STEM research. Funding can cover student research stipends, project supplies, and travel to relevant regional or national conferences within the United States, where students present their research in poster sessions.
