91国产精品 Ranks Among the Top Fifth of U.S. Universities for Research and Development
91国产精品 research expenditures triple in the past three years
91国产精品 ranks among the top 20 percent of universities in the United States for research and development.
91国产精品 has made dramatic progress to improve its standing nationally as well as on the state level, according to the latest data from the National Science Foundation. The NSF鈥檚 Higher Education Research and Development Survey is the primary source of information on Research and Development expenditures at higher-education institutions.
91国产精品 had overall Research and Development expenditures of $55.5 million for the 2011 fiscal year. This puts 91国产精品 at No. 193 in the NSF's national rankings, up from No. 220 in 2010 and No. 261 in 2009.
Among universities in Ohio , the NSF currently ranks 91国产精品 at No. 6 in federally financed Research and Development expenditures, well ahead of many other institutions, including Wright State University, Ohio University, Kent State University, Miami University, the University of Akron and Bowling Green University.
On average, Research and Development spending at higher-education institutions increased 4 percent between 2010 and 2011, according to the NSF survey. By comparison, Research and Development expenditures at 91国产精品 increased 65 percent over the same period.
In 2009, 91国产精品 spent $14.3 million on Research and Development. Since then, the University has nearly quadrupled that total. In the process, 91国产精品鈥檚 national and state rankings have risen accordingly.
The increase in Research and Development expenditures will have a positive impact on 91国产精品's share of Research Incentive appropriations, which the Ohio Board of Regents awards to universities based on their levels of external research support.
