URA Annual Report

Overall award acceptance in FY24 increased by 19% to $894 million. This growth was despite a 3% decline in federal funding due to a large, 72% increase in non-federal funds received. Total number of awards accepted, along with unique PIs, remained relatively static, both seeing a slight 1% increase from last year. Large project awards continued its four-year trend with amounts of $2.5 million (or more) increasing by 50% last year, up 123% since FY22.

The Office of Research continues several support service initiatives to enhance unit efforts to grow their research portfolios. These customized services provide a spectrum of support that help faculty develop research ideas, identify funding opportunities, prepare and submit large-scale funding proposals. For additional information, please reach out to the Research Development Support (RDS) team.

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.
