The University of Nebraska Foundation has awarded more than $760,000 in grants to support the university system’s study-abroad programs and to purchase new medical research equipment.

The university system’s Lincoln campus was awarded $235,000, its Kearney campus received $134,000, the Omaha campus $115,000, and NU’s central administration received nearly $137,000, all for study-abroad programs for students.

The University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha received nearly $142,000 for new medical research equipment, including a DNA sequencing device and other equipment that will enable researchers to conduct genome sequencing twice as fast at half the price.

The money comes from private donations made to the foundation.
