As the recipient of the inaugural We Give Blood Drive competition sponsored by Abbott, the University of Nebraska–Lincoln has outlined its plan to distribute the $1 million award. The funds will be directed toward a variety of grants and initiatives designed to advance the health and well-being of UNL students and the broader Nebraska community.
Faculty are eligible to apply for two of the awards, the Healthy Nebraska Grants and the UNL Student Health and Well-being Grants, which will be awarded by the Division of Student Life in collaboration with the Office of Research and Innovation.
