A new report from the National Science Foundation shows that NC State increased its federal research expenditures by nearly 65% from 2010-19 – percentage gains that outperformed all but one of its peers – and ranked first among all institutions in research and development financed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

NC State grew its federal research expenditures to $228.9 million in the 2018-19 fiscal year, while total research expenditures for FY19 grew to $541.1 million.

Federal funding for university research grew at a 19% clip over the decade, the NSF’s Higher Education Research and Development (HERD) Survey showed. Sponsored by the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics, the report examines research spending at U.S. academic institutions. Its newest report, released in late January, provides a snapshot of U.S. research funding over the last reported fiscal year and the past decade.
