In recognition of the important role faculty have in the undergraduate experience at Nebraska, this report notes the students and mentors participating in the Undergraduate Creative Activities and Research Experience (UCARE) and the First-Year Research Experience (FYRE) programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Information is compiled through NuRamp, the university\u2019s electronic research administration system, and self-reporting mechanisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the state\u2019s land-grant, Carnegie R1 institution and only member of the Big Ten Academic Alliance, Nebraska has a unique role in advancing knowledge and transforming lives. A few measurements of progress made this year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Over the past decade, total research expenditures across UNL, the University of Nebraska Medical Center and the system\u2019s Office of the President have increased 57.5%. Total combined expenditures reached $657 million in fiscal year 2024.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nine Nebraska researchers earned National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development Program awards&nbsp;in the 2025 awards cycle, tying the university\u2019s record for the second year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Husker researchers are earning&nbsp;highly prestigious external honors and recognitions in their fields, many of which are recognized by the National Research Council.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For the eighth consecutive year, the University of Nebraska system is ranked among the world\u2019s top 100 academic institutions receiving U.S. utility patents. NU\u2019s current ranking is No. 49.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The University of Nebraska\u2019s combined industry-sponsored research expenditures totaled $32.1 million in FY 2025. Combined licensing income reached $10.72 million. NUtech Ventures, the university\u2019s technology commercialization affiliate, oversees patents and licensing, while providing support structures for university inventors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Our mission is to support discovery, creativity and innovation that advances Nebraska, the nation and the world. Nebraska\u2019s world-class faculty drives everything that we do. Thank you for your many efforts to advance your disciplines, this university and the state. I am pleased to present this record of accomplishments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\"
