The University of Nebraska-Lincoln has various academic centers that complement and enhance faculty research and academic efforts.
These centers conduct research and surveys, evaluate programs and policy, consult with organizations on special projects, teach and train students and practitioners, and provide public services and information. The knowledge generated by the faculty and staff in the centers is widely disseminated to educate policy makers, scholars, service providers, and the general public.
The work by these centers advances understanding in academic fields for the university, the state, the nation, and the world.
