==History==
[[File:Omaha Medical College Building 1893.jpg|thumb|left|The original Omaha Medical College building at 12th & Pacific in 1900]]
A private medical college was founded in Omaha by the state legislature in 1869 and chartered in 1881 as the '''Omaha Medical College'''.<ref name="Praeger"/> It became part of the University of Nebraska system in 1902. A [[university hospital]] opened in 1917. In 1968, the University of Nebraska united its health sciences, forming the University of Nebraska Medical Center campus. In 1991, a [[technology transfer]] office was created, known as [[UNeMed]]. In 1997, the UNMC hospital merged with the nearby Bishop Clarkson Hospital to become what was later renamed [[Nebraska Medicine]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Home - Nebraska Medicine Omaha, NE|url=http://www.nebraskamed.com|website=nebraskamed.com}}</ref>

===Ebola epidemic response===
During the [[2014 Ebola epidemic]], the federal government tapped Nebraska as one of three units prepared to accept highly infectious patients in the United States. Today, UNMC/Nebraska Medicine has the largest operational biocontainment unit in the nation.<ref name="nebraskaradionetwork">{{cite web|date=June 7, 2017|title=UNMC's Global Center for Health Security|url=https://nebraskaradionetwork.com/2017/06/07/unmcs-global-center-for-health-security/|access-date=June 26, 2017|publisher=Nebraska Radio Network}}</ref>

UNMC's academic, local, state, and federal partnerships have expanded with the initiation of the National Ebola Training and Education Center (NETEC).<ref>{{cite web|title=Ebola Virus Declared a Global Health Emergency {{pipe}} Everyday Health|url=https://www.everydayhealth.com/ebola/virus-declared-global-health-emergency/}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Home|url=https://netec.org}}</ref> the Special Pathogens Research Network (SPRN)<ref>{{cite web|title=Research Network|url=https://netec.org/research-network/}}</ref> and the National Training, Simulation & Quarantine Center.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{cite news|first=Joseph |last=Morton |newspaper= Omaha World-Herald|title=UNMC awarded $19.8 million to develop national training center for fighting Ebola, other infectious diseases|url=https://www.omaha.com/livewellnebraska/unmc-awarded-19-8-million-to-develop-national-training-center-for-fighting-ebola-other-infectious/article_7cdc55f8-9d4b-11e6-a950-83b6f9c1cac2.html}}</ref> These organizations and additional alliances are housed under the Global Center for Health Security.<ref>{{cite news|last=Julie Anderson|title=UNMC, Nebraska Medicine team training Ugandan health-care workers screening for Ebola|url=https://www.omaha.com/livewellnebraska/unmc-nebraska-medicine-team-training-ugandan-health-care-workers-screening-for-ebola/article_1754dbf8-2527-5a2f-81ba-e9694b1fa052.html|website=Omaha.com}}</ref>

In 2016, UNMC was awarded a $19.8 million grant from the [[Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response|Office of the Assistant Secretary of Preparedness and Response]] in the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.<ref name="ReferenceA" /> The four-year federal grant — which has renewable options for an additional 21 years — enables UNMC to teach federal health care personnel procedures in treating highly infectious diseases.

The University of Nebraska Medical Center created the Global Center for Health Security in 2017. The goal of the creation of the center is to transform and centralize "[[Infection|infectious disease]] response and [[biodefense]] research." Among the reasons behind the move were concerns about outbreaks of viruses, infectious diseases, and an environment where a [[Bioterrorism|biological terrorist attack]] is a possibility.<ref name="umbrella organization">{{Cite news|last=Galford|first=Chris|date=June 19, 2017|title=University of Nebraska reorganizes public health efforts to face future disease threats under central umbrella|language=en-US|work=Homeland Preparedness News|url=https://homelandprepnews.com/countermeasures/research/22885-university-nebraska-reorganizes-public-health-efforts-face-future-disease-threats-central-umbrella/|access-date=June 26, 2017}}</ref>

In 2016, a UNMC team of researchers was awarded a five-year research grant from the [[National Institutes of Health]] totaling nearly $20 million, through the Institutional Development Award (IDeA) program and the NIH's National Institute of General Medical Studies.<ref>{{cite web|title=$20 million research grant is largest ever for UNMC {{pipe}} UNMC|date = October 24, 2016|url=https://www.unmc.edu/news.cfm?match=19453}}</ref> The grant will focus on developing early career researchers into independent scientists and increasing the infrastructure and other resources needed to support clinical/translational research (CTR) around the region.

===SARS-CoV-2 epidemic response===
In 2020, UNMC and Nebraska Medicine were enlisted to support a federal operation that evacuated 57 Americans from Wuhan, China, during an [[COVID-19 pandemic|epidemic]] of novel coronavirus, [[SARS CoV-2]].
