Sara Quinn asked me to forward this message to you and for you to please share this message with faculty in your units and remind them that the RCR For All training in Bridge (NSPM-33/research security training) is now active. We are trying to ensure that we get as many folks (key personnel) notified as possible (particularly regarding the first and quickly approaching deadline of October 10). Please reiterate the importance of the training in their areas and the deadlines highlighted below. The initial group of folks with federal funding have been automatically enrolled, however, anyone needing to complete the training can now enroll themselves as well. Remember that this training covers several federal training requirements. Our customized training should take less than 2 hours to complete vs. the alternatives that would take more than one training session and somewhere around 4-5 hours to complete. Any questions, please contact Sara Quinn (SQuinn(a)unl.edu<mailto:SQuinn@unl.edu>). Thanks! Deb ________________________________ From: Jennifer Nelson <vcresearch(a)unl.edu<mailto:vcresearch@unl.edu>> Sent: Monday, September 29, 2025 8:12 AM To: Subject: IMPORTANT: NSPM-33 training requirements [Image removed by sender.] You are receiving this email as a current awardee/past applicant for federal funding. We are writing to ensure you are aware of a new training requirement and upcoming deadlines, detailed as follows: In accordance with the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) National Security Presidential Memo-33 (NSPM-33)<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/wp-content/…> all federal research funding agencies must improve and safeguard the research enterprise for research security. UNL and other institutions receiving over $50M in research funding must have a Research Security Program, which includes required training on several topics. The NSPM-33 initiative began several years ago, in response to concerns over foreign influence in U.S. research. These finalized requirements were completed as a bi-partisan effort intended to safeguard and secure the U.S. research enterprise. The Office of Research and Innovation (ORI and Research, Compliance, Integrity, and Security (RCIS) have been working over the course of the last year to evaluate the available trainings both federally and internally while focusing on a two key goals: * First, to reduce burden/confusion and hours of time being spent completing various training needs. * Second, to provide the best possible training for our campus. The training landscape for research personnel is significant, and the NSPM-33 (research security) trainings developed and offered by federal sponsors take anywhere from 2-4 hours and only cover a couple of specific topics. These trainings leave other topics unaddressed that are still required for other federal purposes, or because of the evolving federal requirements, create serious challenges in quickly meeting new changes and directives. With this in mind, we have decided on a "Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) for All,<https://research.unl.edu/researchcompliance/rcr-education-training/ >" approach. Therefore, moving forward, UNL requires all research personnel (faculty, staff, and graduate students) to complete UNL's customized responsible conduct of research online training, which includes training on research security. This mandatory training is necessary to satisfy multiple federal requirements that are intended to educate on research integrity standards and safeguard the academic research enterprise against the misappropriation of U.S. research and development through inclusion of research security training. The training is available in Bridge<https://fed.nebraska.edu/idp/profile/SAML2/Redirect/SSO?execution=e1s2 >. What does this mean for you/what should you do? A couple of federal funding agencies have been leading the way in articulating research security requirements and associated trainings. 1. If you are currently funded or anticipate submitting a funding proposal to the National Science Foundation (NSF), Department of Energy (DOE), or the Department of Defense (DOD), you must complete the online RCR training before October 10, 2025. NSF and these initial funding agencies have stated they will not accept funding proposals if submitters cannot certify research security training has been completed within the previous 12 months. The UNL Office of Sponsored Programs will not be able to submit your proposal(s) if key personnel have not completed the training. Once you complete the training, this information will be uploaded from Bridge, into NUramp and your training information will display within the Sponsored Programs module in NUramp. * We have pre-registered you for the training in Bridge already, it should be loaded and available in your Bridge account and you should have received an email from Bridge directly. * Research personnel are required to complete the comprehensive RCR training every 4 years, which includes a quiz at the end. On average, most users will be able to complete the training in approximately 1.5 hours. Additionally, an annual refresher training must be completed, which does not include a quiz. Most users will be able to complete the refresher training in less than 30 minutes. 2. If you are currently funded by or anticipate submitting a funding proposal to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Department of Education (DOEd), Department of Justice (DOJ), or other federal sponsors you must complete the online RCR training before January 25, 2026. NIH and some of these funding agencies are following similar processes as noted above and training must be completed within the previous 12 months. The UNL Office of Sponsored Programs will not be able to submit your proposal(s) if key personnel have not completed the training. Once you complete the training, this information will be uploaded from Bridge, into NUramp and your training information will display within the Sponsored Programs module in NUramp as below). * We strongly encourage you to complete the online RCR training as soon as possible, with the overall deadline of completion before January 25, 2026. * We have pre-registered you for the training in Bridge already. It should be loaded and available in your Bridge account, and you should have received an email from Bridge directly. 3. All other research (funded or unfunded). By Fall 2026 (the end of October 2026), we will require all other research personnel (including graduate students) to have completed the online RCR training. However, this is an evolving area, and if certain agencies stipulate otherwise, we will provide notifications about completing the training earlier.

RO water update
by Jayne Stratton 22 Sep '25

22 Sep '25

Hello, all, The RO water system is working again and all the autoclaves should be up and running. Just make sure the autoclave is up to temperature (meaning the "ready" light should be on) before starting your run. The glassware washers will remain off until tomorrow, however, to allow the RO system time to fill the tanks again. The anticipation is that these can be used again tomorrow morning. Thanks, Jayne Stratton

Inspired by travels with family and friends, Valery transforms photographs into paintings that invite a deeper, more personal reflection. Each piece requires careful attention to detail, reconnecting her with the memories of a specific time and place. Marbles, with their bold and brilliant colors, are treasures in their own right and reflect her fascination with vibrant hues. Likewise, the luminous array of colors found in flowers continues to bring her immense joy—an energy that shines throughout this collection. Valery Wachter is a dedicated member of the Lincoln arts community. She has served on the Friends of UNL Art Department board, MEDICI, the Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts Alumni Board and the selection committee for the Mayor’s Arts Awards. She is represented by the Burkholder Project Gallery and is a founding and current member of the Bryan Health Art Committee.

RO water down - do not use autoclaves or glassware washers!
by Jayne Stratton 17 Sep '25

17 Sep '25

I was just informed that the RO water system is down in the building, which means that autoclaves and glassware washers cannot be used at this time. The service provider is working with Nebraska Nova on getting parts to repair the unit. Please plan on not using the autoclaves or washers starting now through Friday morning. By Friday morning we will know if the parts have been procured and repairs are underway. I will send another note updating everyone as to the status of the RO unit. Dr. Hallen-Adams has a small autoclave in the third floor autoclave room that she has said people can use for small loads that does not require the RO system. Please contact her if you would like to use it.

With two decades proudly under their belts, the Henhouse Prowlers' sight remains fixed on the future. Ever constant in the group's electric performances is their ability to showcase their passion for music and people. All four members possess a knack for storytelling, compelling songwriting and intricate instrumentation. Rooted in tradition yet unafraid to venture into new musical territory, the Prowlers occupy a space that defies easy categorization; one that is consistently fresh, relevant and captivating. To date, the band has toured 30 countries across five continents, collaborating with the U.S. State Department and through their own nonprofit, Bluegrass Ambassadors. These global experiences have not only shaped their worldview but also reinforced their mission: to build bridges between cultures through music. For the Henhouse Prowlers, the work extends far beyond the stage; they are deeply committed to using their art in the service of a more connected and compassionate world. The Bottle Tops are a husband-and-wife duo, Kerry and Mike Semrad, from Lincoln, Neb. With family stories, the music industry and oddities along the way, their entertaining stage show brings nothing but smiles for miles. Audiences are sure to stomp along to the band’s unique rockabilly sounds and inspirations from yesteryear. On any weekend, you can see the band rocking every club from the Midwest honky-tonks to large theatres and a devoted fan base of old to young, dancing and singing along to their original songs.

Inspired by travels with family and friends, Valery transforms photographs into paintings that invite a deeper, more personal reflection. Each piece requires careful attention to detail, reconnecting her with the memories of a specific time and place. Marbles, with their bold and brilliant colors, are treasures in their own right and reflect her fascination with vibrant hues. Likewise, the luminous array of colors found in flowers continues to bring her immense joy—an energy that shines throughout this collection. Valery Wachter is a dedicated member of the Lincoln arts community. She has served on the Friends of UNL Art Department board, MEDICI, the Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts Alumni Board and the selection committee for the Mayor’s Arts Awards. She is represented by the Burkholder Project Gallery and is a founding and current member of the Bryan Health Art Committee.
