Research Development

The Office of Research Development offers personal consultations to aid you in your research and creative activities. We aim to foster a collaborative environment that gives faculty the resources and space needed to continue their cutting edge research and creative activity.

Internal Funding Opportunities

One pathway toward your goals is funding and UNK is dedicated to providing resources to make you successful in your career. The Research Services Council (RSC) is an internal program that funds faculty research and creative activity. The RSC offers seed money especially for projects potentially leading to external funding, projects that demonstrate the potential for publication or other appropriate forms of dissemination, and projects that involve students. Additional unique, opportunities include the Nebraska Collaborative Initiative, the Nebraska Research Initiative for Infrastructure, Nebraska EPSCoR, and the Research Core Facilities New User Program.

Personalized Consultation and Review

Beyond funding, we are happy to provide consultations in regard to your scholarly trajectory and help to navigate the university system. We also sponsor programming and training throughout the year to help you meet your research goals and put forth the strongest proposal possible. The Division of Research can also organize an internal review for externally applications prior to submission.
