Tradeline reports on the rise of UNE’s research and scholarship programs
The rapid success of UNE’s research and scholarship programs was the focus of a January 2, 2013 report published on Tradeline Inc.’s online portal, TradelineInc.com, which provides information resources to corporate, institutional and government professionals for planning, design, construction and management of facility assets.
The report, based on a presentation made by Associate Provost for Research and Scholarship and Director of the Center for Excellence in the Neurosciences Ed Bilsky, Ph.D., at the Tradeline 2012 College and University Science Facilities conference, details the steps that the University has taken over the years to become a well-established research institution. From growing the biomedical research program to following recommendations made by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, to expanding its infrastructure, UNE has worked toward a clear vision of being a student-centered institution with research and scholarship playing an integral role.
As the report notes, in just the past ten years alone, “UNE’s research and scholarship program has gone from just a handful of funded investigators to a vibrant educational and research group that is effectively competing for major federal and state grants.”
