Jenner Carey Bryan Award for Research

Jenner Carey Bryan Award for Research

02/02/2022


Named in memory of Jenner Carey Bryan who passed away on March 17, 2016. Jenner loved sports of all kinds and appreciated efforts to improve safety for athletes. His family established the Jenner Carey Bryan Award so that undergraduate students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill could work toward improving safety in sport, while keeping Jenner’s memory alive.

The Award was established by Jenner’s aunt and uncle, Drs. Lisa Carey and Matt Ewend, and made possible by donations from Jenner’s family and friends. The award will support undergraduate students competitively selected to engage in research at the Matthew Gfeller Center for a 5-week summer internship, followed by an internship during the 2022-2023 academic year. The awardees will each receive a $1,000 summer stipend, and a $1,000 stipend during the 2022-2023 academic year.
