Internal Funding Newsletter, Academic Year 2019-2020

The University of Nebraska at Omaha is committed to fostering the academic and scholarly pursuits of faculty, staff, and students. While the 2019- 2020 Academic Year brought many changes and challenges, UNO has continued to invest in a multitude of funding programs to promote research and creative activity. This year’s programs provided over $530,000 for student and faculty projects that reflect the broad range of scholarly interests of the UNO community: the use of 3D printed models to improve the understanding of complex orthopedic trauma, the role of religion and spirituality in deterring sex offending, the romanticization of the highland warrior in British literature and culture, inducing social grooming to boost marmoset well-being, and pandemic related fake news identification based on unstructured data mining
