This partnership between the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) and Omaha Public Schools (OPS) supports the creation of a Science ecosystem, with opportunities for teachers, and subsequently youth, in the Omaha area to conduct genuine research projects in collaboration with UNO science Faculty.

  • Application Details and Deadlines

The TRPP began in 2015, supported by funding from the Sherwood Foundation. Teachers and mentors are matched based on mutual interests and work in close collaboration to conduct an approx. 80-hr dedicated research project over a 4-6 week period, between June 1-July 15.

Weekly journal club discussions and a post-project research symposium provide valuable opportunities to evaluate current research, develop collaborative relationships, and broaden the scope of each experience beyond a single project.

OPS Teachers and UNO Mentors are awarded a stipend and funding is awarded to support research projects. This program provides opportunities to advance personal and professional goals for both teachers and mentors. Learn more about TRPP commitments and benefits.

Why participate in TRPP?

Will climate change impact life on earth? Why is it so hard to cure cancer? What plants make our water supply more sustainable? Can we find a vaccine for HIV? Can we restore prairies? The Teacher-Researcher Partnership Program supports research collaborations to address similar questions across all science disciplines!
