Vascular Research Program
The mission of the Vascular Research Program is to provide opportunities, foster collaboration, and further build and expand vascular research activities within the Nebraska system with the goal of impacting vascular medicine and patient care.
Goals
- Increase visibility of UNMC vascular research across the state, nation and globe.
- Foster interaction and collaboration between vascular researchers across the Nebraska system.
- Provide opportunities, scientific input, and resources to improve research productivity.
- Vascular Research Program activities, travel awards, funding opportunities, and seminars will be publicized through the center and to the Vascular Physiology and Disease Focus Group. Attendance and participation is open to all.
