The application deadline for Voelte-Keegan Bioengineering Support is 5 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 10.
Don Voelte and Nancy Keegan generously established a new fund at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) to support Bioengineering research that utilizes the research core facilities at the Nebraska Center for Materials and Nanoscience (NCMN) and the Nano-Engineering Research Core Facility (NERCF).
The Voelte-Keegan Bioengineering Fund will support small grant requests to generate preliminary data to support proposals for future funding or to broaden the scope of a currently funded project. Requests for operating costs for ongoing projects, rather than a distinct set of experiments toward a unique new goal, will receive lower priority for funding. Approximately $40,000 is available at this time; we anticipate supporting three to five projects.
Applications for support from the Voelte-Keegan Bioengineering Fund must be submitted via the Internal Competitions module in NuRamp (https://nuramp.nebraska.edu). Sign in to NuRamp using your institutional credentials.
