Office of Research and Economic Development RESEARCH AND CREATIVE ACTIVITY

July 1, 2017 – June 30, 2018 Major Sponsored Programs and Faculty Awards for Research and Creative Activity

University of Nebraska–Lincoln This booklet highlights successes in research, scholarship and creative activity by University of Nebraska–Lincoln faculty during the fiscal year July 1, 2017– June 30, 2018. It lists investigators, project titles and funding sources on major grants and sponsored program awards received during the year; fellowships and other recognitions and honors bestowed on our faculty; books published by faculty; performances, exhibitions and other creative activity by our faculty; and patents and licensing agreements issued for products of Nebraska research. Notably, the university reached a major milestone in FY2017: earning $302 million in total research expenditures, a 23 percent increase over the past decade. Our outstanding faculty made it possible to reach that longstanding goal. The list of accomplishments in this booklet is remarkable. Each line represents the “glory” side of research. What often goes unrecognized is the grit underlying this work: the intense dedication to inquiry and practice; the long hours spent writing and revising proposals; the patience given to organizing and analyzing data. The university, the state of Nebraska and the world are stronger because Bob Wilhelm of our faculty’s dedication to giving their best every day. Vice Chancellor for Research and Economic Development As a university, we will continue making long-term investments to grow our research enterprise and to position Nebraska as a hub for innovation. The celebration of the university’s 150th anniversary in 2019 offers a ripe opportunity for us to consider who we are now, and what we strive to become. The Nebraska Commission of 150—which includes more than 150 faculty, staff, students, alumni and friends—is working to define the university’s path to distinction and impact during the next 25 years. Research and economic development must play a crucial role in advancing the university during its next chapter, and I’m confident our talented, committed faculty will rise to the challenge. I appreciate your interest in and support for Nebraska research. In my first six months here, I have met with many of our faculty and been impressed by their talents, goals and vision for the future. I’m pleased to present this record of accomplishments. With hard work and dedication from all involved in the university’s research endeavors, I’m confident we can build on past successes and make a lasting impact.
