University Affiliated Research Centers (UARCs) operate as independent, trusted advisors and honest brokers, agreeing to limit their operations in order to be free from real or perceived conflicts of interest. Since it was established as the UARC of the University of Nebraska System and U.S. Strategic Command in 2012, NSRI has supported critical mission deliverables for 48 DOD and federal government agencies.
We are grateful for the trust and support of all of our sponsors who have helped us meet our mission, and we are proud to feature three of these sponsors below.
U.S. Strategic Command
Since 2012 NSRI and NU have delivered on 44 projects sponsored directly by U.S. Strategic Command. In total, 18 NU principal investigators have led this work with multiple faculty and student contributors. Key projects have included wargame development and facilitation, data analysis, drone enhancements and intelligence support.
Several additional projects have also been sponsored by USSTRATCOM mission partners, including the Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration, which launched a $25 million IDIQ with NSRI in 2021.
