Every dollar you contribute to the National Strategic Research Institute (NSRI) helps accelerate breakthrough research from laboratories across the institute and the University of Nebraska System's four campuses into the hands of warfighters defending freedom worldwide. Your support empowers the next generation of national security innovators — undergraduate and graduate students from the University of Nebraska —who work alongside world-class researchers to solve our nation's most critical challenges.

As a University Affiliated Research Center (UARC) designated by the U.S. Department of War and sponsored by U.S. Strategic Command, NSRI harnesses the brightest minds to develop tomorrow's solutions to strengthen strategic deterrence and counter weapons of mass destruction. Our researchers and students create operational capabilities that protect American lives. Their fresh perspectives, combined with our expert guidance, produce game-changing technologies that give our military the decisive edge.
