In fields where precision and consistency are critical, artificial intelligence is proving to be an invaluable tool. At the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO), AI-powered initiatives are streamlining processes in research compliance and policy development, ensuring accuracy and efficiency. Below, we explore two projects demonstrating AI’s potential in these areas.

AI-Enhanced Research Compliance

Project Lead: Brenda Kolobara

Brenda Kolobara’s project integrates AI into sponsored programs and research compliance workflows. The initiative includes using AI for research security reviews, proactive compliance checks, and automated document creation. By analyzing publications and collaboration disclosures, the project ensures accuracy and transparency while reducing the administrative burden on researchers.

AI in Civil Rights Compliance

Project Lead: Sarah Weil

Sarah Weil’s project leverages AI to improve the clarity and consistency of university policies related to civil rights compliance. By analyzing governing documents and using natural language processing, the initiative ensures that policies are clear, comprehensive, and free of conflicts. Interactive tools, such as decision trees and FAQs, further enhance accessibility and understanding for the university community.

Ensuring Compliance and Excellence with AI

From research compliance to policy clarity, these projects showcase AI’s role in ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and accessibility. By adopting innovative solutions, UNO is setting a benchmark for leveraging AI in critical administrative functions.
