The future is research
Research is vital to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Engineering. We are strong and growing, especially in the areas of nanotechnology, transportation, structures, computer and electronics engineering, and materials research. We are adding emphasis on biomechanics, materials and medicine; renewable energy production, distribution and consumption; and cyber infrastructures.
Research at Nebraska Engineering is progressive and collaborative. We attract and recruit excellent faculty and high quality doctoral students. We reach beyond our departments and programs to join forces with experts from other disciplines across the university, state, nation and globe. Join us in work that advances the world and develops your career.

NSF and NIH Revise Proposal Guidelines
On January 4, 2010, new proposal guidelines will become effective for all proposals submitted to the National Science Foundation (NSF). The new NSF Grant Proposal Guide is now available at: http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=gpg. You may download a PDF version of the Guide or review it online. Page 21 of the PDF file provides a summary of the significant changes. Of interest to most COE researchers will be: if a deadline falls on a Federal holiday, the deadline is extended to the following business day.
On January 25, 2010, new proposal guidelines will become effective for all proposals submitted to the National Institutes of Health. Details regarding the changes can be found at http://enhancing-peer-review.nih.gov/docs/application_changes.pdf. The changes include shortened page limits and new application forms. NIH does not anticipate having the revised forms and guidelines available on its web site until December.
If you have any questions regarding the change in guidelines, please contact Pat Worster (Lincoln) (pworster2@unl.edu) or Annie Price (Omaha) (aprice5@unl.edu).
