Charge:
• Your task is to develop core ideas/projects for an $8-10M
($1.25-1.5M per year for 5 years) NIH Center proposal.
• To evaluate the agricultural impact on the watersheds in
the state of Nebraska
• Specifically, you should consider the following questions
Briefly describe the core projects your group
would design for the Center. Please dream big.
• Multi-tier approach to determine impact of agrichemicals
on the environment
– Environmental Evaluation for the pollutant
identifications and exposure levels
– Animal studies to determine impacts
• Fish exposure
• Mouse exposure (Parkinson and Alzheimer's)
– NMR to determine compounds of interest
– Mass Spec studies to confirm compounds
– Real Time Monitoring
– GIS Mapping overlay to determine various
agrichemical interactions.
Identify the key faculty from both campuses to
involve in these projects. Include their
strengths. (UNMC on next slide)
