The central campus UK Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) provides a free poster printing service to the UK undergraduate student! OUR will print ONE student research poster free-of-charge per semester, if you are accepted to present your research at a professional conference, program, or event.
UPDATE: The OUR can now print posters for students (additional posters after the first free printing), faculty, and staff for $30 per poster. The office accepts checks and departmental accounts for payment.
Poster Printing Checklist
Please carefully review your poster before uploading to the portal (see link below), as each poster will only be printed once. You are responsible for ensuring there are no typographical or other errors on your poster.
Typically, it is requested that posters be uploaded 1 week prior to the day you need them (which should not be the same day as your event).
You will be notified via e-mail when it is ready to be picked up in OUR office located in Funkhouser Hall - Rm 211.
If you need a poster printed before then, please email Jesi Bowman at jesibowman@uky.edu.
*To upload your poster and request printing services from OUR, please complete their request form located at the following link: OUR Poster Printing Portal
*Poster printing is a service provided by the central UK Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR), not the College of Health Sciences.
The College of Health Sciences Undergraduate Research Program will provide funding to undergraduate students to cover expenses related to manuscript publication (page fees).
During each academic year, students are allowed to make one request for a manuscript publication related expense. Maximum funding for each student is $300 per academic year. Funding will be provided on a rolling basis on a first come first serve manner until all allocated funding is used.
Criteria for funding
Funding Request Procedure
To request funding, please send an email to Dr. Richard Andreatta at richard.andreatta@uky.edu containing the following information in an organized bulleted list:
*Higher amounts of funding will be considered on a case by case basis depending on the quality of the journal the student is submitting to and student funancial need. Other compelling factors that the student wishes to discuss will also be considered for funding requests that exceed the maximum.
The College of Health Sciences Undergraduate Research Program is pleased to announce the availability of travel and meeting registration funding assistance from the Vice-President for Research (VPR) office for undergraduates presenting research at professional, scientific, and/or other research-based meetings (e.g., Posters at the Capital, UK CCTS, NCUR). Funds are available to help defray the cost of travel and meeting fees for student presenters. Funds can only be used for registration and travel expenses (e.g., airfare, mileage, lodging, meals) to a meeting for the undergraduate researcher to present their work.
Requests can be made for up to $500 (maximum) per student per academic year. In the application, you must justify the amount being requested and provide an explanation of how the requested amount will be specifically used to support your conference travel and attendance. Funding will be provided on a rolling basis until the yearly office budget is spent. The maximum funding amount of $500 may be lowered depending on the number of applications received during the academic year. Lowering the maximum amount will allow us to help more students if the need arises.
Reviews will be performed administratively by the CHS Director of Undergraduate Research. The goal will always be to try and fund as many students as possible with our budgeted monies.
To be eligible for this funding, students must meet the following criteria:
Students must submit a post-meeting survey if travel awards are accepted and used. Please use the following link to complete this mandatory survey:

Research & Scholarship Support Program link
The CHS Undergraduate Research Program (CHS UGR), in partnership with the CHS Office of Research & Scholarship, is launching an incentive program for faculty to specifically encourage the creation of new research opportunities for undergraduate students. The incentive program will issue microgrants of up to $300 to support faculty working with undergraduate students in a newly approved and posted research opportunity. Funds can be used for supplies, or any other expenses directly related to the student’s research work and effort. Funds cannot be used for student travel, meeting costs, publication fees, or poster printing because there are other funds available through the CHS UGR office for these expenses.
