Ten undergraduate students from five Nebraska colleges and universities recently received the 2019 Richard Holland Future Scientist Award from the Nebraska Coalition for Lifesaving Cures.
\nThe students received cash awards totaling $5,000 at the annual INBRE (Institutional Development Award (IDeA) Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence Program) conference on Aug. 6 in Nebraska City.
\n 
\nThe awards are named in honor of the late Richard Holland, an Omaha philanthropist and longtime supporter of research. This is the 12th year the Holland Future Scientist Awards have been given.
\n 
\nThe students, listed below, were judged for their oral and poster presentations of the research work they conducted this summer as part of the INBRE program.
\n 
\nAlso at the conference, 2017 INBRE Scholar Sean Watson received the James Turpen INBRE Scholar Excellence Award in recognition of his meritorious work while he was an undergraduate student at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. The award is named for former Nebraska INBRE program director James Turpen, Ph.D., who founded the program in 2001.
\n 
\nToday the INBRE program is overseen by Paul Sorgen, Ph.D., a professor in the department of biochemistry and molecular biology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Dr. Sorgen is the principal investigator of the $16.2 million grant funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences of the National Institutes of Health.
\n 
\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.
\n 
\nThe students, referred to as INBRE scholars, enter the program after completing their sophomore year of college upon recommendation of their college professors. It is a two-year comprehensive training program to prepare the students for graduate school.
\n
