Standard Operating Procedures for CEHS Research
- Research Staff
- Faculty Development
- Research Related Links
- Internal Grants
- Research Support
- Collaborate
The CEHS Grant Specialists assist faculty with obtaining funding for research projects both internally and externally to UNL. The Grant Specialists help faculty with the grant proposal preparation and submission process and with monitoring awards. The Grant Specialists can provide assistance with:
- Assisting with budget preparation and drafting justification
- Monitoring awards to ensure compliance with applicable laws and sponsor guidelines, and
- Assisting with the management of budgets, expenses and personnel appointments
Grant Proposal Process
CEHS Grant Specialists are excellent resources for budget preparation, with knowledge about adequate funds for proposed research along with allowability of proposed costs, ensuring that no matching obligations are included when not required. Adequate time is required for proper pre-award reviewing so faculty are strongly encouraged to contact the appropriate Grant Specialist early in the grant application process.

Funding Agencies
Internal Grants
CEHS Student Professional Development Grant Program
The objective of the CEHS Student Professional Development Grant Program is to promote the professional growth of CEHS graduate and undergraduate students. Grants awarded through this program provide funds for graduate and undergraduate students to participate in a professional meeting, conference, or other training or professional development experience.
Technology Innovation Projects
Student technology fees are intended to enhance student learning and the student experience. The CEHS Technology Committee is allocating a portion of the student technology fees received by the College to support innovative projects that advance how we think about and use technology in this context. The committee is particularly looking for projects that:
1) are designed primarily to benefit to students’ learning experiences,
2) provide an opportunity for the College to learn about the application of technology, and
3) are replicable and have the potential to be adopted on a wider scale if effective.
Internal Funding Opportunities
Internal funds are available from the Office of Research and from the Research Council to support research, scholarship and creative activities through annual university-wide competitions. Applications for internal funding are submitted via the Internal Competitions module in NUgrant.
Graduate Travel Awards Program (GTAP)
The GTAP facilitates and promotes the intellectual and professional development of graduate students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and contributes to the strengthening of the University and its increased prominence in the greater scholarly community.
Research Support
The Nebraska Center for Research on Children, Youth, Families and Schools (CYFS)
CYFS offers complimentary services from start to finish as you conceptualize, develop, submit and manage your grant. You'll also have access to additional services, including web, technology and communications support; database management; and statistical analysis.
Nebraska Evaluation and Research (NEAR)
The Nebraska Evaluation and Research (NEAR) Center's purpose is to promote sound statistical, measurement, and research (e.g., Quantitative, Qualitative, and Mixed Methods) methodology. In addition the Center serves as a hands-on training program for graduate students in the Quantitative, Qualitative, & Psychometric Methods (QQPM) program.
