The UNC system’s two Triad research universities saw different levels of success in 2009 when it comes to winning sponsored research programs from agencies such as the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health and others.
N.C. A&T State University won awards worth $57.7 million in the fiscal year that ended June 30, an increase of 25.9 percent from 2008. UNC-Greensboro’s awards totaled $35.4 million, a decline of 8.7 percent. The figures come from a report provided to the UNC Board of Governors at its February meeting.
Winston-Salem State University, which has yet to launch its first Ph.D. program, has a smaller research operation but increased its awards by 34.4 percent to $12.1 million in 2009. UNC-School of the Arts had no sponsored research during the year.
Sponsored research is critical to universities for several reasons. One is economic, because by definition the dollars come from outside the budget-strapped system, and are used not only to hire faculty and graduate students, but also indirectly to support the costs of facilities and equipment.
A&T Continues to due Great Things!
