These recommendations are grounded in the evidence and analysis below. Click any to see the full rationale, research backing, and suggested partners.
Consider having the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Office of Research and Innovation pilot a 'Researcher-in-Residence' program, co-funding positions for UNL faculty or post-docs to be embedded within local tech firms for 6-12 month project-based secondments.Consider tasking the Nebraska Innovation Campus with creating a streamlined 'Startup Access Pass' for qualified local ventures. This pass would provide low-cost, on-demand access to specialized university facilities like the Biotech Connector wet labs, the Food Innovation Center, or other core research facilities.Given the shared strategic plan is 'Rarely Updated' (4/5), consider having the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce and the Lincoln Area Development Partnership facilitate an annual review focused specifically on strengthening knowledge transfer mechanisms between UNL and the private sector.
