We are closely monitoring all federal actions that could affect the University of Nebraska. While the full scope of these orders and proposed legislative changes continues to unfold, we are carefully monitoring these issues and taking proactive steps to support our mission and our community.
We have received many questions from faculty wondering whether their federally funded research has been impacted by any of the directives thus far. If you have questions, please reach out to your program director or your campus’s office of sponsored programs. If you receive notice that your work is affected, please immediately contact your office of sponsored programs.

The University of Nebraska Board of Regents also held a special meeting on February 25 to review potential future changes to our Board bylaws and policies.
