Center for Pediatric Brain Health
Abstract Text Abstract/Summary: Overall Component This application for a Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) would initiate a Center for Pediatric Brain Health to manage, support, and expand developmental neuroimaging and pediatric neuroscience research at Boys Town National Research Hospital (BTNRH) in Omaha, Nebraska. It is an opportune moment for pediatric neuroscience at BTNRH, as […]
Nebraska Center for Nanomedicine
The need for the discovery and development of innovative technologies to improve the delivery of therapeutic and diagnostic agents in the body is widely recognized. The “next generation” therapies must be able to deliver drugs, therapeutic proteins and recombinant DNA to focal areas of disease or to tumors to maximize clinical benefit while limiting untoward […]
Nebraska Center for the Prevention of Obesity Diseases through Dietary Molecules
The Nebraska Center for the Prevention of Obesity Diseases through Dietary Molecules (NPOD) supports research on the identification of biological signals that prevent, treat, and cure obesity and related diseases. The emphasis of NPOD is on food-borne signals. Led by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) in close collaboration with the University of Nebraska Medical Center […]
Great Plains IDeA-CTR
The Great Plains is a vast, rural region with pockets of urban development. Geographic and social isolation- combined with lack of access to primary and specialized care in both rural and underserved urban areas- characterizes some of our most vulnerable populations Our objective is to develop a robust, networked research infrastructure to nurture, develop, and […]
Center for Perception and Communication in Children
CENTER FOR PERCEPTION AND COMMUNICATION IN CHILDREN The goal of Phase II of the Center for Perception and Communication in Children (CPCC), our Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) at the Boys Town National Research Hospital (BTNRH) in Omaha, Nebraska, is to expand the range of the current research program by providing a unique environment […]
Cognitive Neuroscience of Development and Aging Center
Overall Component This application for a Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) would initiate a formal Center to lead, support, and expand neuroimaging and clinical cognitive neuroscience research in Nebraska, with an emphasis on lifespan development. It is an opportune moment for human neuroscience research in the Omaha community, regionally, and across the world, with […]
Rural Drug Addiction Research Center
The nature and challenge of illicit drug use in the United States continues to change rapidly, evolving in reaction to myriad social, economic, and local forces. While drug addiction affects every region of the country, most information about drug use comes from large urban areas. Emerging data on rural addiction and its harms justify greater […]
Nebraska Center for Molecular Target Discovery and Development
Overall Center Organization and Management Plan The goal of the Nebraska Center for Molecular Target Discovery and Development is to establish and expand physical and intellectual resources at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) and the University of Nebraska system that will catalyze the ability of its faculty to define, validate, and develop potential […]
Translational Hearing Center
Overall Plan for the Translational Hearing Center This Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) application is to establish the Translational Hearing Center, administered by centrally-located Creighton University, with Boys Town National Research Hospital (BTNRH) and the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC), as institutional partners. Our overall goal is to build a critical mass of […]
Nebraska Center for Integrated Biomolecular Communication
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) seeks to foster collaborative interdisciplinary research to enhance its biomedical research infrastructure in the molecular life sciences. Building on the success of two prior UNL Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBREs), it is proposed to establish the Nebraska Center for Integrated Biomolecular Communication (CIBC). The proper regulation of biomolecular communication […]
