UNO Researchers again met the GRAD Act metrics. Federal research in the categories defined within the GRAD Act increased from $10.6M to $10.7M (five-year rolling average) and total research increased from $17.4M to $17.7M even though the number of research/instructional faculty (FTE) dropped from 418 to 368. The percent of faculty that are either PIs or Co-PIs on grants rose from 26.3% to 28.0% during the past year.
