The Kentucky Postsecondary Education Improvement Act of 1997 (HB1) designated funding in support of instructional and applied research programs of distinction at each of the comprehensive institutions in Kentucky. These programs are distinctive because they meet the needs of the Commonwealth by supporting economic development with programs that are in high demand nationally by employers. Programs of distinction include: Kentucky State University-Aquaculture; Eastern Kentucky University-Justice and Safety; Morehead State University-Space Science Center; Murray State University-Telecommunication Systems Management; Western Kentucky University-Applied Research and Technology Program; Northern Kentucky University-Center for Integrative Natural Science and Mathematics.

The undergraduate research projects listed below are participants in the Posters-at-the-Capitol 2017 event.

All Programs of Distinction are represented.
