Research Clusters 1993-1998, $6.7 million

The National Science Foundation EPSCoR Program funded five research clusters in Nebraska beginning in July 1993. The first three research clusters (behavioral biology, materials research, and metallobiochemistry) were funded for three years (1993-96) followed by two additional years (1996-98) of reduced funding. Two new research clusters (bioremediation of xenobiotics and gene expression in plants) were funded for a two-year period (1996-98). In addition, NSF research support included Nebraska EPSCoR's "Type II" grants that funded beginning investigators.
