LAWRENCE This summer, 12 University of Kansas students will receive Undergraduate Research Awards (UGRAs). UGRA recipients are awarded a $1,000 scholarship as they work on mentored research and creative projects.
“I am continually impressed by the quality of research and creative projects proposed by undergraduate students at KU,” said Alison Olcott, director of the Center for Undergraduate Research and associate professor of geology. “These students have worked closely with their mentors to devise projects that stand to make important contributions to their areas of study.”
Students apply for UGRAs by writing a four-page research proposal under the guidance of a mentor. Faculty reviewers evaluate the applications based on the merit of the applicant s proposal and a recommendation from the mentor.

Kansas Must Plan to End Tobacco Sales
Newswise Today, we begin planning for the end of the sale of [combustible] tobacco products. Many other products have been pulled from store shelves for causing far less harm than tobacco. Consumer goods shouldn’t kill consumers, and the tobacco industry has been given a free pass for far too long.
Tobacco is the only consumer good that kills when used exactly as intended. Other products require overuse or misuse to cause damage.
“We have been aware of tobacco’s deadly effects for decades. Tobacco use is one of the leading causes of cancer, which will kill about 5,600 Kansans this year,” said Roy Jensen, MD, vice chancellor and director of The University of Kansas Cancer Center. “Research shows that 19 percent of all cancers could be eradicated if people no longer smoked. It is time to phase out the sale of tobacco.”
