Minors in the Research Policy

All minors (under the age of 18) whether they are a student, employee, or volunteer must have a completed Minors in Research Approval Process BEFORE beginning any work or conducting any research in a University of Kentucky research lab, greenhouse, animal facility, or field work.  The lab's principal investigator where the minor will be working is responsible for completing this process.

Note: no one under the age of 14 is permitted to work or conduct research in the above listed locations at the university unless it is a UK sponsored program designed for youth (training and safety policies must be documented with the university)
