This is the 13th year the Holland Future Scientist Awards have been given, which was delayed a year due to the pandemic.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The&nbsp;students&nbsp;listed&nbsp;below&nbsp;were judged for their oral&nbsp;presentations of the research work they conducted this summer as part of the INBRE program.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>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&nbsp;funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences of the National Institutes of Health.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Established 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.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The 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.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The award winners are listed below:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>2021 INBRE
