Multi-Laser-Beam Open-Atmosphere SurfaceCoating Techniques Based on Precursor Excitation,Photodissociation and Controlled Cooling$5,014,954 DoD-ONR-MURI3/15/05 – 7/31/10Zeng, Xiao ChengChemistryWith support from the Department of Defense, Yongfeng Lu isconducting a five-year study to investigate a new process to deposita diamond or diamond-like coating on surfaces to create thermalbarriers and increase corrosion protection. He is developing acoating technique that employs multiple laser beams to deposit thecoating at room temperature in an open atmosphere – a significantimprovement over conventional coating techniques that requirelow vacuum and high temperature. The resulting process will bemore energy-efficient, improve the quality of materials on which thecoating is deposited and minimize thermal stress.Meagher, Michael Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering* Therapeutic Countermeasures against the Botulinum Neurotoxinin Support of USAMRIID Botulinum Therapeutic Program$3,875,000 DoD-DTRA8/16/10 – 8/15/13Michael Meagher, Donald L. OthmerProfessor of Chemical and BiomolecularEngineering, directs the Biological ProcessDevelopment Facility, which provides clientswith process research and early manufactureof new therapeutic molecules for clinicaltesting. Supported in part by funding fromthe Department of Defense, the BPDF also develops vaccinesagainst biological warfare agents, as well as products that can beused as therapeutic countermeasures to treat people who havebeen exposed to biological agents.* Process Research, Development andManufacturing of 5P12 RANTES$3,793,418 Mintaka Foundation for Medical Research3/1/10 – 3/31/12Van Cott, Kevin Chemical and Biomolecular EngineeringMintaka Foundation for Medical Research is supporting theBPDF’s development of a process to produce a cream containing5P12-RANTES, a protein widely considered to be one of the mostpromising candidates for use as a topical HIV prevention agent.12AWARDS OF $3 MILLION OR MORE
Paul, PremResearch and Economic DevelopmentNebraska Center for Energy Sciences Research$5,000,000 Nebraska Public Power District11/24/09 – 3/31/16The Nebraska Center for Energy Sciences Research is acollaboration between UNL and the Nebraska Public PowerDistrict. The center was established in April 2006 to supportenergy research that produces new technologies, processes andsystems that provide new or significantly enhanced renewableenergy sources, improves the quality of life and boosts economicopportunity. The center fosters interdisciplinary collaborationamong UNL faculty and with other research institutions, publicsectoragencies and private sector companies with similarinterests. The center supports both basic and applied researchand has a broad mandate to explore a range of renewable energyopportunities (including biofuels, wind and solar energy), as well asopportunities for energy conservation.ADVANCE-Nebraska: An Institutional Approach to Hiring,Retaining, and Promoting Women STEM Faculty at theUniversity of Nebraska–Lincoln$3,801,443 NSF9/1/08 – 8/31/13Holmes, Mary AnneEarth and Atmospheric SciencesMcQuillan, JuliaSociologyManderscheid, DavidArts and SciencesFritz, SusanInstitute of Agricultureand Natural ResourcesChandra, NamasEngineeringThe National Science Foundation funds ADVANCE-Nebraska, aprogram intended to significantly increase the gender diversity ofthe UNL faculty, especially in the science, technology, engineeringand mathematics (STEM) fields. The ADVANCE office, led byprogram director Mary Anne Holmes, professor of practice ofearth and atmospheric sciences, coordinates recruitment andretention-enhancing activities, disseminates information tothe campus and the academic community at large, and servesas liaison for the many groups engaged in diversity-focusedactivities on campus. Other ADVANCE efforts include initiativesrelated to flexible work arrangements to accommodate work-lifeissues of faculty; development of a dual career partner program;training programs to minimize the influence of bias on decisionmakingprocesses; and informal networking through professionaldevelopment workshops and retreats. The five-year, $3.8 milliongrant is from NSF’s ADVANCE program, which aims to increaseparticipation and advancement of women in academic science andengineering careers.AWARDS OF $3 MILLION OR MORE13
