24 Huskers receive Layman Awards to boost research

The Workplace of Analysis and Financial Growth is supporting 24 analysis tasks in 2022-23 by means of its Layman Awards program, which funds work that enhances a researcher’s capability to acquire exterior funding to assist outstanding scholarship.

This system affords two tracks — the Layman Seed Program, which funds new tasks by early-career school who’re nontenured on the time of submission; and the New Instructions Program, which funds tenured school who’re branching into new analysis instructions or want funding to assist pilot or developmental work towards the following step in a funded analysis program. Awards of as much as $10,000 per utility for every program are made potential by assist from the College of Nebraska Basis.
