UNMC’s National Institutes of Health (NIH) research funding soared nearly 112 percent in the last three years. <\/p>\n

This number is part of a report that University of Nebraska Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs and Research Richard Hoffmann will present today to the NU Board of Regents.<\/p>\n

Hoffman compared the growth in NIH funding between the fiscal years 2008 and 2010 and found that UNL’s funding grew from $72 million to $94 million, a 31 percent increase, and UNMC’s funding grew from $43 million to $91 million, a 112 percent increase.<\/p>\n

  • $115 million — UNMC’s overall funding for the past year — a 15 percent increase from the year before;
    \n
  • 106 — the number of UNMC researchers with NIH funding — a 71 percent increase from 2000; and
    \n
  • $700,000 — the current average amount of a UNMC grant — up from $400,000 in 2003.<\/UL>

    \n<\/TABLE>“I’m proud of the initiative UNMC researchers have taken and that the private sector has been so supportive of our research enterprise,” said UNMC Chancellor Harold M. Maurer, M.D.<\/p>\n

    UNMC’s research strategy has been successful although NIH funding has been flat and has lost money against inflation since 2003, said Tom Rosenquist, Ph.D., UNMC’s vice chancellor for research. <\/p>\n

    “We’ve seen record growth the past two years, and that doesn’t include the stimulus money we received,” he said.<\/p>\n

    During the two years of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the NIH funded $22 million for biomedical research at UNMC. The recovery grants ended in September.<\/p>\n

    UNMC’s average annual growth rate is 7.9 percent, compared to the NIH, which is 0.8 percent. <\/p>\n

    Several facts point to UNMC’s continued success, Dr. Rosenquist said, including:
    \n

    • UNMC’s continued growth of overall research funding — now at $115 million, a 15 percent increase from the year before;
      \n
    • Between 2000 and 2010, the number of UNMC researchers who received NIH funding grew from 62 to 106 — a 71 percent increase;
      \n
    • UNMC’s average grant award has risen from $400,000 in 2003 to $700,000 in 2011; and
      \n
    • UNMC continues to excel in cancer research, while achieving high status in new areas.<\/UL><\/p>\n

      “I don’t know how the NIH budget will be affected during the current round of budget cuts,” he said, “but I am sure that UNMC scientists will continue to compete successfully, and that our NIH support will continue to grow.” <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
