Overall award acceptance in FY23 increased by 18% to $754 million. This growth was due to a 14% increase in federal funding along with a 30% increase in non-federal funds received. This increase in total authorized awards corresponds with a 10% increase in the total number of awards accepted and a 2% increase in the number of unique PI awards. Large project awards continued its four-year trend with amounts of $2.5 million (or more) increasing by 46% last year and 56% since FY20.
The Office of Research continues several support service initiatives to enhance unit efforts to grow their research portfolios.

In addition, the University Research Administration (URA) office continues to enhance processes for award acceptance, account management and project closeout that together provide better service to faculty and to unit research administrators.
