Note:
Follow instructions on the Biology Department website: https://bio.as.uky.edu/bio-398-research-and-writing-biology. A research contract (webform found on Biology Department website) signed by the student and faculty mentor must be approved by the Director of Undergraduate Studies in Biology. Controlled enrollment: Registration will be allowed after the contract is approved.

An independent laboratory research project in an area of biology under the direction of a faculty mentor. The research may be conducted in the Department of Biology or in other biological units on campus. A research contract signed by the student and the faculty research mentor must be approved by the Director of Undergraduate Studies in Biology. As part of the course, students will complete one or more formal written assignments with a significant portion of this assignment or assignments revised at least once. Completion of at least one of the Biology core courses (Cell Biology, Evolution, Genetics, Physiology, Ecology) is strongly recommended. May be repeated to a maximum of 12 credits, but a maximum of only 6 credits of independent research (BIO 394, 395, 397, or 398) may be used to satisfy the requirements of a BS or BA in Biology. This course is a Graduation Composition and Communication Requirement (GCCR) course in certain programs, and hence is not likely to be eligible for automatic transfer credit to UK.
