Carolina’s research funding keeps rising

Thanks to strong leadership, UNC-CH once again ranks 10th for federal funding and 13th overall in national research rankings for public and private universities.

During fiscal year 2020-2021, Carolina increased its annual research expenditures to $1.2 billion across all fields, with federal awards accounting for $748 million. This represents an increase of $46 million over fiscal year 2020.

“We are thrilled to retain our ranking as one of the top research institutions in the nation,” said Interim Vice Chancellor for Research Penny Gordon-Larsen. “And while much of our research is funded through federal sources, it is sustained with investment by the General Assembly, in addition to federal sponsors that allows our research to thrive, making a difference not only in the lives of North Carolinians, but also in our state’s economy.”

Research at Carolina employs over 11,000 North Carolinians in projects that touch all 100 of our state’s counties. Expenditures on research activity represent new revenue for North Carolina’s gross state product, and spending on research supports more than 3,000 businesses across the state.

Research awards and expenditures are the most common measurements of research activity for universities — both of which exceed $1.2 billion at Carolina. The University’s year-to-year growth in research awards typically forecasts an even greater volume of research expenditures in the coming years.

At today’s UNC-CH, the future is ever brighter.
