UNMC research and sponsored projects continue to grow, with total research expenditures reaching $183 million in fiscal year 2022, the largest total in UNMC\u2019s history.<\/p>\n\n\n

Total research expenditures in FY22 increased by 3% to $183 million.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Total sponsored program awards totaled $251.9 million this past fiscal year, an increase of 10%, marking a new record and four years of consecutive growth. Public service grants increased 30% to $67.2 million. Total research awards increased 4% to $169.7 million, the second highest amount on record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese records are the work of many faculty, trainees, employees and research administrators. With the outstanding faculty already here and ongoing recruitment efforts across all our colleges and institutes, I predict these numbers will continue to grow,\u201d said Jennifer Larsen, MD, UNMC’s vice chancellor for research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UNMC Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research use both awards and expenditures to track progress and growth. Both are important and together give a complete picture of the work UNMC researchers are conducting. Additionally, UNMC is ranked by different organizations using criteria that involve both metrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cResearch awards and expenditures never quite match for many reasons. Expenditures are based on spending on the previous year\u2019s awards, and awards transferred in with new recruits are not included that year but are counted in expenditures,\u201d Dr. Larsen said.<\/p>\n\n\n

In fiscal year 2022, total research awards increased by 4% and sponsored program awards increased by 10%.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\u201cOur clinical trials can be difficult to capture in research awards because they are incrementally funded as individuals are enrolled in studies,\u201d said Christopher Kratochvil, MD, UNMC\u2019s associate vice chancellor for clinical research and vice president for research at Nebraska Medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research expenditures not only include funding received from clinical trials, but also research funded by donors, academic health center partners and state-aided funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThanks to the dedication and hard work of the research community at UNMC, we continue to see growth despite the challenges of the pandemic,\u201d Dr. Larsen said. \u201cWe have a bright future ahead of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
