Pope, KevinNatural ResourcesAngler Behavior in Response to ManagementActions on Nebraska Reservoirs$3,147,776 Nebraska Game <strong>and</strong> Parks Commission1/1/09 – 12/31/13Kevin Pope, assistant unit leader-fisheries <strong>of</strong>the Nebraska Cooperative Fish <strong>and</strong> WildlifeResearch Unit <strong>and</strong> associate pr<strong>of</strong>essor in theSchool <strong>of</strong> Natural Resources, with supportfrom the Nebraska Game <strong>and</strong> ParksCommission, will document the currentparticipation levels <strong>of</strong> anglers in Nebraska’slentic systems. In particular, participation levels <strong>of</strong> generic anglinggroups will be quantified among specific water bodies, <strong>and</strong> amodel will be developed to describe generic angler participation(spatial <strong>and</strong> temporal) within a region. Such a model will helpmanagers better determine appropriate lake-specific managementobjectives, given the dynamic nature <strong>of</strong> angler participation, <strong>and</strong>will be important for increased effectiveness <strong>of</strong> angler recruitment<strong>and</strong> retention activities throughout the Midwest.Rilett, LaurenceCivil Engineering/Nebraska Transportation CenterRegion 7 University Transportation Center$7,629,000 DOT-RITA10/1/06 – 6/30/12The U.S. Department <strong>of</strong> Transportation’sResearch <strong>and</strong> Innovative TechnologyAdministration has designated UNL’sMid-America Transportation Center (MATC)as a regional university transportationcenter. MATC is a consortium with UNL asthe lead institution with regional partnersKansas State University, University <strong>of</strong> Kansas, University <strong>of</strong>Missouri-Rolla <strong>and</strong> Lincoln University <strong>of</strong> Missouri. The NebraskaDepartment <strong>of</strong> Roads <strong>and</strong> the Kansas <strong>and</strong> Missouri Departments<strong>of</strong> Transportation also are key partners. Laurence Rilett, Keith W.Klaasmeyer Chair in Engineering <strong>and</strong> Technology in UNL’s civilengineering department, directs the center. Its focus is “improvingsafety <strong>and</strong> minimizing risk associated with increasing multi-modalfreight movement on the U.S. surface transportation system.”MATC will focus on safety research related to rural transportation.Key safety research areas include traffic control, animal crashes,safer at-grade railway crossings <strong>and</strong> work zones, <strong>and</strong> thedevelopment <strong>of</strong> more effective <strong>and</strong> economical roadside crashbarriers. The university transportation center program supportstransportation research, education <strong>and</strong> technology transfer thatpromote scientific innovations in a variety <strong>of</strong> transportation modes<strong>and</strong> disciplines. Region 7 serves Iowa, Kansas, Missouri <strong>and</strong>Nebraska. It is one <strong>of</strong> 10 regional university transportation centersin the nation.14AWARDS OF $3 MILLION OR MORE

The goal <strong>of</strong>UNL’s ESQuaRed team (Laboratory for Empirically-based S<strong>of</strong>twareQuality Research <strong>and</strong> Development), part <strong>of</strong> the Department <strong>of</strong>Computer Science <strong>and</strong> Engineering, is to develop methods formodeling how people interact with s<strong>of</strong>tware <strong>and</strong> hardwarecomponents <strong>and</strong> with each other in order to analyze the quality <strong>of</strong>the system as a whole. The information obtained as a result will beused to improve the dependability <strong>and</strong> safety <strong>of</strong> the systems.AWARDS OF $3 MILLION OR MORE15
