In addition, Department of Defense-funded research through NSRI continues to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Bayles noted that research funding received from federal agencies reached a new record of $141 million. \u201cFederal awards continue to be the strongest source of funding for our faculty. This indicator shows we\u2019re heading in the right direction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UNMC estimates that research funding brings about 30 jobs to Nebraska per $1 million in funding, meaning more than 5,000 jobs will be created in Nebraska from the 2024 awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Bayles also noted that UNMC received three new institutional training grants from the National Institutes of Health, expanding UNMC\u2019s ability to recruit and train students and postdoctoral scholars in health-related areas of high need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAn important part of our research mission is to train and mentor the next generation of scientists and scholars,\u201d said UNMC Interim Chancellor Dele Davies, MD. \u201cThese new grants add to the strength of our training programs, and I\u2019m excited to see the impact they will have on driving discoveries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, the steady rise of expenditures, he said, is the most accurate gauge of how UNMC\u2019s research efforts continue to expand and is how UNMC is compared to other universities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While award metrics reflect the funding transferred to UNMC in a given year, research expenditures better represent actual research activity. Expenditures also account for research funded by donors, academic health center partners and state-aided funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is the best reflection of the work that our scientists are doing,\u201d Dr. Bayles said. \u201cWe continue to expand our research in impactful areas and our growing support from federal agencies suggest this will continue well into the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Research expenditures and federal awards grew for the year, and UNMC is expanding its science in areas of focus, which
