Nebraska ESPCoR Experimental Systemic Initiative

93-53653巴林格内布拉斯加州EPSCoR实验系统倡议该提案概述了几个具体的倡议，将支持内布拉斯加州EPSCoR办公室的努力，以促进提高内布拉斯加州四个学术研究机构的教师的研究计划的竞争力。 这些项目分为三个一般活动领域，包括与赠款或合作研究机会有关的旅行，学科研究会议，以及增加科学学科中妇女和少数民族人数的教育计划。 旅行计划包括初级教师有机会访问联邦机构的项目官员，并探索在国家研究实验室和行业的合作研究机会。 会议包括原子碰撞物理学的国际会议，调节肽研究的州内会议，以及可能的额外的州内会议，以促进该州四所研究型大学的科学家之间的合作。 教育计划的重点是工程和生物医学科学在大学预科水平，生物化学在大学水平，水科学在研究生水平。

93-53653 Ballinger Nebraska EPSCoR Experimental Systemic Initiative This proposal outlines several specific initiatives that will support the Nebraska EPSCoR office's efforts to promote increased competitiveness in the research programs of faculty of the four academic research institutions in Nebraska. The projects are grouped into three general areas of activity including travel associated with grant or collaborative research opportunities, disciplinary research conferences, and educational programs to increase the number of women and minorities in science disciplines. Travel programs involve opportunities for junior faculty to visit program officers in federal agencies and to explore collaborative research opportunities in national research labs and industry. Conferences include an international conference in atomic collisions physics, an intrastate conference in regulatory peptide research, and possibly an additional intrastate conference to stimulate increased collaboration among scientists of the state's four research universities. Educational programs are focused on engineering and biomedical science at the pre-college level, biochemistry at the college level, and water science at the graduate level.
