Donate to NFHC!
The Nebraska Food for Health Center (NFHC), founded in 2016, is a groundbreaking force at the intersection of agricultural and biomedical sciences. We are redefining what’s possible in both crop improvement and human health, creating a future where the foods we eat not only nourish us but actively promote disease prevention and wellness.
At NFHC, we go beyond traditional agricultural goals. Our focus is on enhancing human nutrition and leveraging the power of foods to improve our health. By targeting the microbiome – the unseen system that affects so much of our wellbeing – we’re developing grains and legumes that go far beyond providing calories. These foods have the potential to positively transform the gut microbiome and support better overall health.
But we can't do it alone. With the combined expertise of faculty across the University of Nebraska system – including UNL, UNMC, and UNO – and through our state-of-the-art research facilities and events, we’re building a coalition of minds dedicated to this mission. Now, we need your support to make this vision a reality. Join us in driving the future of food innovation, health, and wellness. The time to act is now.
Donate to the NFHC Trainees!
The Nebraska Food for Health Center (NFHC) Trainee Council is a trainee-led community uniting graduate students and postdoctoral scholars across UNL, UNO, and UNMC, to advance the future of food and human health. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, leadership development, and innovative research, the council helps prepare emerging scientists to tackle some of today’s most pressing challenges in gut microbiome science, nutrition, and disease prevention.
Your support makes this possible. Donations directly fund professional development, social and emotional well-being, research and travel opportunities, and outreach programs that empower trainees to grow as scientists and leaders. More than a contribution, your investment helps cultivate the minds behind tomorrow’s breakthroughs: discoveries that will shape how food promotes wellness for generations to come.
Join us in driving the future of food and health. When you support the NFHC Trainee Council, you are investing in people, innovation, and a healthier world.
