Funded Awards Program
Our program helps faculty shift to more interactive teaching models to better fit the learning style of today's students.
By engaging learners through these interactive modules, we aim to increase their retention and higher order thinking, ideally leading to improved patient outcomes.
In order to participate in the program, faculty and student teams must go through a competitive application process. While the majority of participants every year are new to the Funded Awards Program, there has been a consistent increase in the number of returning faculty and students — demonstrating those who participate recognize the value it brings to UNMC's curricula and students’ learning experiences.

Learn About the Program
With more than 300 projects funded, the E-Learning Program has helped hundreds of participants reimagine and transform UNMC curricula.
“My goal was to develop tools to use in my course, but this turned into a great experience guiding students how to teach difficult concepts. I appreciated the opportunity to work closely with students outside the classroom setting as we developed the module together.”
