Kansas IDEA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (K-INBRE)
K-INBRE supports faculty and student biomedical research on the Lawrence campus.
The K-INBRE is an initiative funded by the National Institutes of Health to invigorate biomedical research in Kansas. The K-INBRE provides scholarships to undergraduate researchers to work in KU research labs. The goal of the program is to help prepare students for a career in the biomedical sciences.
Previous K-INBRE scholars have gone on to pursue training to be research scientists, physicians, engineers, psychologists, teachers, and many other professions.
Students interested in applying will need to be working in (or accepted to work in) a research lab with a scientific mentor. Students without mentors may read our FAQ page about finding an appropriate mentor. We also encourage you to look at our current scholars page to see the kinds of projects are students are doing.
All applicants must apply to the campus program, through this website, to be considered. Applications selected through this process will be submitted to parent organization by the campus coordinator. Applications submitted directly to the KUMC K-INBRE RedCap site without the campus coordinator's approval will not be supported.
Any questions should be directed to the campus coordinator, Dr. Brian D. Ackley at bdackley@ku.edu.
