The Collaboration Initiative is designed to help University of Nebraska researchers become more competitive for extramural funding by helping foster meaningful collaborations that leverage the full intellectual capacity of faculty across the campuses.
This year’s Request for Applications (RFA) will solicit proposals from faculty teams that are studying extramurally fundable research question(s) using a broad multidisciplinary “systems” approach. Researchable topics will not be administratively pre-defined, but applications must be designed to position the team to submit a highly competitive extramural funding application immediately following the completion of their proposed work.
INTERESTED IN FUNDING? - SAVE THE DATE
To be funding eligible, PIs must attend the Collaboration Initiative Retreat.
An email with links to the retreat registration page and RFA will be sent on September 20th.
