The University Committee on Research and Creative Activity (UCRCA) expands the capacity for research and creative activity at UNO.
The UCRCA makes funding recommendations to the Associate Vice Chancellor for Research and Creative Activity in a fair and transparent way. We support all areas, types and disciplines of research and creative activity by pre- and post- tenured faculty and graduate and undergraduate students at UNO.
An Interdisciplinary Committee
UCRCA members represent each of the colleges and various departments across the campus—and are recommended for appointment by the Faculty Senate to serve three-year terms. Funding for UCRCA comes from Facilities and Administrative Costs resulting from external grant and contract funding.
