At the University of Nebraska\u2013Lincoln, we know that great people are behind every headline-making accomplishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In four years as vice chancellor, I\u2019ve had ample opportunities to witness how Husker pride runs deep in our university\u2019s DNA. It\u2019s about more than talent and expertise \u2013 though our faculty share those attributes, too. The difference is Huskers\u2019 willingness to collaborate, mentor and define success in their research and creative endeavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why leadership is the focus of this Research Report. We are proud to offer unique leadership development programs at the early- and mid-career levels. In this report, you\u2019ll learn about people who are leveraging these programs to grow their careers and the university\u2019s capacity. It also features stories about accomplished researchers who have positively shaped the culture of their departments and colleges, mentoring rising scholars and students along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cover story on pages 4-5 features a $51 million award from the National Science Foundation to lead the NSF-funded portion of the U.S. CMS Operations Program. Being selected to steer this international effort results from years of work and leadership by Nebraska\u2019s particle physics team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breakthroughs are rarely the result of a single published journal article or artistic performance. Huskers put in the effort \u2013 day after day, year after year, decade after decade \u2013 to advance their research and creative endeavors. Although individual accolades are important, I\u2019m continually impressed by the faculty\u2019s drive to benefit society through their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing today\u2019s societal challenges requires novel approaches in research, teaching and outreach. Increasing impact through research and creative activity is one of six core aims of the N2025 Strategic Plan, Nebraska\u2019s roadmap for evolving as a 21st century land-grant institution. To that end, the university is investing $40 million in strategic, goal-oriented solutions through the Grand Challenges Initiative, designed to leverage Nebraska\u2019s strengths and expertise in seven thematic areas. A progress report is available on page 43.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nebraska is committed to advancing progress in anti-racism and racial equity. We are continually examining how we can best support our research community and remove potential barriers to success for individuals of all backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our people make the place. I am excited to share the ways Huskers are thriving as scholars and leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n
