#MyUNMCResearch Campaign

Research Month will be marked this October with a celebration of UNMC researchers. Throughout the month, faculty, staff and students are encouraged to share their stories of what they love about research at UNMC. 

The UNMC community is invited to describe how UNMC has helped you grow as a researcher by submitting your stories on this form. Responses may be highlighted on social media and other promotional materials. Feel free to also share your research stories on social media with #MyUNMCResearch or #UNMCResearch.
