$20 million NIH award supports UNMC partnership
Building cross-campus partnerships between UNL and the University of Nebraska Medical Center is an ongoing priority. One example of collaboration is a project funded by a $20 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to help early career scientists launch their own independent research programs. UNMC is the lead institution and UNL is a key partner in the network, which includes nine institutions from four states. Melanie Simpson, professor of biochemistry and associate director of the Center for Biotechnology, serves as project coordinator at Nebraska.
