Nebraska EPSCoR Cooperative Agreement

9720643巴林格内布拉斯加州EPSCoR项目将把重点放在三个有针对性的研究领域的新基础设施发展上，并保持现有的努力，支持全州办公室通过S与技术规划、外展和教育、技术转让和师资发展来提高研究竞争力。目标领域包括为内布拉斯加-林肯大学(UNL)和内布拉斯加大学奥马哈分校(UNO)的科学家和工程师开发计算能力和计算机网络，以及加强克雷顿大学(CU)基于多肽的生物有机化学的研究。这些领域的基础设施建设建立在参与的研究型大学的优势之上，与正在进行的项目发展和战略计划保持一致，并寻求提高该州在特定领域的研发竞争力。三个目标领域的基础设施发展将涉及升级联合国后勤基地和联合国后勤基地的计算设施和计算机网络环境，并在中央情报局获得最先进的实验室设备。帮助教师和学生研究人员使用这些改进的机制，包括培训和维护，将提高在需要计算和分析能力的广泛学科中的研究竞争力。基础设施的改善将大大扩大研究项目的范围和深度，这是现有基础设施目前无法做到的。内布拉斯加州EPSCoR将继续为该州科学和工程研究能力的规划和发展提供机会，并协助内布拉斯加州技术发展公司加强私营部门的互动和制定SBIR/STTR赠款提案。

9720643 Ballinger The Nebraska EPSCoR program will focus new infrastructure developments in three targeted research areas as well as maintain existing efforts supporting the statewide office to promote research competitiveness through S&T planning, outreach and education, technology transfer, and faculty development. The targeted areas include development of computational capacity and computer networking for scientists and engineers at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) and the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) and enhancement of research in peptide-based bioorganic chemistry at Creighton University (CU). Infrastructure enhancement in these areas builds on strengths of the participating research universities, is consistent with on-going program development and strategic plans, and seeks to improve the state's R&D competitiveness in specifically identified areas. Infrastructure developments in the three targeted areas will involve up-grading computational facilities and computer networking environments at UNL and UNO and obtaining state-of-the-art laboratory equipment at CU. Mechanisms, including training and maintenance, to assist faculty and student researchers in the use of these improvements will enhance research competitiveness in a broad range of disciplines that require computational and analytical capabilities. The infrastructure improvements will greatly enhance the range and depth of research projects that are not presently possible with the existing infrastructure. Nebraska EPSCoR will continue to provide opportunities for planning and development of the state's science and engineering research capacity as well as assist the Nebraska Technology Development Corporation in enhancing private sector interactions and development of SBIR/STTR grant proposals.
