The Nebraska Center for Virology (NCV), a Center of Biomedical Research
Excellence (COBRE), was formed in the fall of 2000 under the Institutional
Development Award (IDeA) program. The Center combines the expertise
and facilities of Nebraska's leading biomedical research institutions:
the University
of Nebraska-Lincoln, the University
of Nebraska Medical Center, and Creighton
University. Junior and established researchers at these institutions
conduct innovative and collaborative research efforts supported by
the Center's state-of-the-art core facilities. The Center presents
a strong mentoring environment to attract and promote the development
of promising investigators. Since its inception, the Center has attracted
seven new virologists to the State of Nebraska, and in November of
2003 initiated a campaign to raise funds to build a new 15 million
dollar state-of-the art research center on the UNL campus. NCV is
funded by the National Institutes of Health and the National
Center for Research Resources.

Nebraska Center for Virology Collaborative Seed Grant Research Project for COBRE Phase III
NCV research faculty members are invited to complete an application for Nebraska Center for Virology seed grants to be funded in 2012. The intent of the NCV seed grant program is to provide financial support to NCV faculty at UNL and UNMC and Creighton to conduct collaborative preliminary investigations with the goal of enhancing collaborations and in obtaining additional extramural funding directed towards program project initiatives and collaborative RO1s. The major goal is to encourage inter-disciplinary research into studies of viral disease to enhance collaborative publishing amongst investigators.
