About the Program

These research experiences for undergraduates are funded by endowed scholarships established to honor the late Dr. C. Roy Adair, a geneticist and plant breeder, whose accomplishments helped establish the preeminence of the Arkansas rice industry and  the late Katharina  Bollenbacher, a U of A alumna and USDA scientist who worked on the University of Arkansas campus. 

Conduct your own research project under the guidance of faculty in the Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology at the University of Arkansas.
