Reminder for NU Collaboration Initiative Grant Awardees

NU Collaboration Initiative grant funds must be fully spent by June 30, 2025. Carry-forward is not allowed.

A final report will be due 60 days following the award’s end date and must include a draft federal proposal, SAP expenditure report(s), and submission to NuRamp.

Failure to meet requirements may impact eligibility for future NU funding.

For questions or assistance, please contact ORCA at unoorca@unomaha.edu.


New Federated Login for eRA Commons & Research.gov

The Office of Sponsored Programs is pleased to announce that UNO faculty and researchers can now use their institutional credentials to log in to eRA Commons and Research.gov through federated login. This eliminates the need to manage separate credentials, such as Login.gov, providing a more streamlined and secure access experience.
To log in, simply select the institutional/federated login option on either platform and choose University of Nebraska Omaha from the list. You will then be able to sign in using your UNO credentials.
Tip: Rather than scrolling through the drop-down list, enter “Omaha” or “Nebraska” as search term to quickly find Omaha’s identity provider.
For questions or assistance, please contact the Office of Sponsored Programs at unosponspro@unomaha.edu.

Central Plains Research Data Center (CPRDC) Virtual Training

This spring, ORCA hosted a series of virtual training sessions for faculty to learn more about the CPRDC and how to use it for research. UNO researchers now have access to restricted-use datasets from the U.S. Census Bureau and other federal agencies for approved projects. ORCA is pleased to make all of the meetings' recordings, slides, and other documents available to UNO faculty in Canvas found at this link.


Resources and Programs for NIH Applicants

To assist investigators/institutions that are submitting fewer applications, the NIH has developed this resource to help clarify the process, highlighting institution- and investigator-specific information, including key actions that must be taken well in advance of application submission. The aim is to make the process easier for those with relatively less experience submitting NIH grant applications and the broader research community.


Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Offices

DARPA’s research portfolio is managed by six technical offices charged with developing breakthrough technologies and additional offices that manage special projects and the transition of DARPA-funded technologies into Department of Defense capabilities. The Agency benefits from contributions by a number of support offices as well.

  • BIOLOGICAL TECHNOLOGIES OFFICE (BRO)
  • DEFENSE SCIENCES OFFICE (DSO)
  • INFORMATION INNOVATION OFFICE (I2O)
  • MICROSYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY OFFICE (MSO)
  • STRATEGIC TECHNOLOGY OFFICE (STO)
  • TACTICAL TECHNOLOGY OFFICE (TTO)

Apply to become a DARPA Innovation Fellow

Fellows will push the limits of existing technology through the rapid exploration of a high-volume of promising new ideas under DARPA’s Advanced Research Concepts (ARC) program. These projects are focused on answering high risk/high reward “what if?” questions and assessing the impact of further investment.

Fellows will also have the opportunity to hang out with and learn from DARPA program managers as well as the university, industry, and non-profit performers who perform DARPA-funded research. Being a DARPA Innovation Fellow is a great way to begin a career in the sciences. DARPA Innovation Fellows have the opportunity to make extensive connections across an extraordinarily rich, technologically focused network.

The fellowship is an in-person salaried position at DARPA in Arlington, Virginia. To submit your resume for consideration or to ask questions about the fellowship program, email fellowship@darpa.mil.


UNL's Bureau of Sociological Research (BOSR) Services Available

BOSR’s services include, but are not limited to: collecting survey data, assisting with study recruitment; planning and conducting focus groups or in-depth interviews; transcription of audio recordings; data entry; providing reports from collected data. BOSR also helps with data collection for program evaluations that are often required with external funding. In addition to full-scale data collection, BOSR can help early in the research process by providing methodological consultation, program evaluation planning, budgeting, and cost-effective ways to collect pilot data. These early research efforts can improve the quality and competitiveness of proposals for external funding.

To learn more about BOSR’s services, please check out the website at https://bosr.unl.edu/. You can also contact bosr@unl.edu with any questions.
