Talk:Nova Southeastern University

Proposed rewrite of Research section for neutrality and sourcing review

I am affiliated with Nova Southeastern University and would like to request review of a proposed replacement for the article's Research section.

The purpose of this request is to replace promotional, mission-oriented, and subjective language with more neutral, encyclopedic wording while preserving the underlying factual information. I am requesting review and implementation by an independent editor in accordance with Wikipedia's conflict-of-interest guidance.

Proposed replacement for the Research section

Research

Nova Southeastern University is classified as an "R1: Doctoral University – Very High Research Spending and Doctorate Production" by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education.

As of 2025, the university reported more than 250 active research projects. Areas of study included cancer treatment and detection, coral reef restoration, bilingualism and cognition, children's vision care, mental health, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

NSU conducts ocean and marine research through institutes and programs including the National Coral Reef Institute, the Broward County Sea Turtle Conservation Program, the Guy Harvey Research Institute, and the Save Our Seas Shark Research Center USA. Research conducted through these organizations includes coral reef science, marine conservation, shark ecology, and sea turtle conservation.

Health-related research institutes include the David and Cathy Husman Neuroscience Institute, the Cathy J. Husman ALS Center, the AutoNation Institute for Breast Cancer Research and Care, the Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine, the NSU Cell Therapy Institute, and the Rumbaugh-Goodwin Institute for Cancer Research.

The Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine conducts research on neuro-inflammatory conditions, including Gulf War Illness, myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, and Long COVID.

The Center for Collaborative Research is a 215,000-square-foot, six-story facility containing wet and dry laboratories, high-performance computing resources, and access to Florida LambdaRail. It houses research programs in cancer, cell therapy, neuro-immune medicine, ocean sciences, bioinformatics, cybersecurity, and related fields.

The center's shared research facilities include flow cytometry, genomic sequencing, imaging, cell-therapy research facilities, and a vivarium.

NSU researchers have collaborated with the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Army Research Laboratory on research involving technical-skills assessment and training.

For fiscal year 2023, NSU reported research and development expenditures of $50.173 million. The university also reported awarding 422 research and scholarship doctorates during the 2022–2023 academic year.

Requested action

I welcome any feedback or alternative wording that editors believe would better comply with Wikipedia's policies regarding neutrality and sourcing.

The proposed revision removes mission-oriented and promotional language such as:

• "aims to advance the science"
• "multidisciplinary team"
• "designed to foster interdisciplinary collaboration"
• "develop innovative solutions"
• "cutting-edge resources"
• "drive tech-savviness"

The proposed revision attempts to retain factual information while presenting it in a more neutral and encyclopedic manner.

I am not requesting removal of the article's promotional-content maintenance notice.

I welcome any feedback regarding this proposed rewrite and would appreciate recommendations regarding neutrality, sourcing, article structure, or other sections of the article that may benefit from review. If editors identify additional areas of concern, I would be happy to prepare additional edit requests for independent review.

Thank you for your review.
