As the recipient of the inaugural We Give Blood Drive competition award sponsored by the health care company Abbott, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has outlined its plan to distribute the $1 million award. The funds will be directed toward a variety of grants and initiatives designed to advance the health and well-being of UNL students and the broader Nebraska community.
Two of the awards, the Healthy Nebraska Grants and the UNL Student Health and Well-being Grants, will be awarded by Student Life in collaboration with the Office of Research and Innovation.
- Healthy Nebraska Grants will be awarded to UNL investigators or teams working in collaboration with a non-profit organization that serves the state of Nebraska to advance student or community health in the state of Nebraska.
- UNL Student Health and Well-being Grants will be awarded to UNL investigators or teams to advance the health and wellbeing of UNL students.
Both grants may be used for research, education and/or engagement activities. Required notices of intent to submit are due May 16, and proposals are due Sept. 15. For those interested in learning more about these grants, a Zoom information session will be held May 8 from 1-2 p.m.
Additional information about the grants and information session are available on the program webpage.
