Another Hundred Mil for UNL

By: Mr. Wilson on August 5, 2008
UNL's research funding leveled off a bit this year, but still increased 3.2% to $105.7 million. That's a nice little chunk of change. Although UNL and NU leaders talk about how UNL's research funding benefits Lincoln and Nebraska, it would be nice to see some numbers rather than just general statements. Even a periodic report -- every three to five years, say -- would be great. Does such a report exist?

IANR did a report last year about the economic return of state appropriated funds here: http://atworkfornebraska.unl.edu/survey.html

Ag research alone always has a huge potential to impact Nebraska over the short and long term with benefits in the realms of crop disease, irrigation methods, ag economics, livestock, and food nutrition.
