Dr. Turpen is the principal investigator of the $17.2 million National Institutes of Health grant that funds the program.<\/p>\n<p>\nEstablished in 2001, the INBRE Scholars program was created to expose students to serious biomedical research and build a statewide biomedical research infrastructure between undergraduate and graduate institutions.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe students, referred to as INBRE scholars, enter the program after completing their sophomore year of college upon recommendation of their college professors.<\/p>\n<p>\nEach undergraduate school nominates approximately three students a year for the program. Once in the program, the students are given two-year scholarships worth $11,000. The scholarship provides students with $2,500 during each of their next two undergraduate years and $3,000 during each of the two summers they are in the program.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe award winners are listed below.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Oral<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>1<sup>st<\/sup> place<\/strong> &ndash; Lana Zholudeva &ndash; Creighton University<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>2<sup>nd<\/sup> place<\/strong> &ndash; Sean West &ndash; University of Nebraska at Omaha<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>3<sup>rd<\/sup> place<\/strong> &ndash; Kate Weskamp &ndash; Nebraska Wesleyan University<\/p>\n<p>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Poster<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>1<sup>st<\/sup> place<\/strong> &ndash; Kristine Ward &ndash; Creighton University<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>2<sup>nd<\/sup> place<\/strong> &ndash; Andrew Cannon &ndash; Nebraska Wesleyan University<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>3<sup>rd<\/sup> place<\/strong> &ndash; Rachel Coburn &ndash; University of Nebraska-Lincoln<\/p>\n<p>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n<em>Through world-class research and patient care, UNMC generates&nbsp;breakthroughs that make life better for people throughout Nebraska and beyond.
