UNC rises in research ranking for funds spent on research and development
The lower ranking may help UNC attract more funding
Students and faculty will have more opportunities to complete research
projects and make breakthroughs, thanks to UNC’s new research ranking among
public and private universities.
UNC rose from 16th to ninth place overall for federal funds spent on
research and development, and it ranks fourth among public universities.
The National Science Foundation recently released data showing UNC spent
about $546 million from federal research funding on faculty projects in the
2010 fiscal year.
Duke University, the only other N.C. school ranked in the top 25, came in at
13th with expenditures totaling about $514 million.
Barbara Entwisle, vice chancellor for research, said UNC increased in the
rankings because of new research buildings and a competitive faculty.
“We have outstanding faculty,” she said. “It’s faculty who write the
grants, and without them we are nowhere.”
The new ranking will enhance the school’s reputation and help bring in more
funding for undergraduate research, she said.
“This is the money that provides for student interns, research
assistantships, training assistantships,” Entwisle said. “It provides
opportunities that benefit everybody.”
Faculty rely on external funding for research. This money comes from
foundations, corporations, and federal and state governments, said Donna
Bickford, associate director of undergraduate research.
Entwisle said in most years, half of the funding is spent on projects in the
School of Medicine, and most of the faculty get $100,000 or less for awards.
“You have to compete for this money,” Entwisle said. “You have to be in
the top 10 or 15 percent of everybody competing to get these awards.”
Entwisle added that the University typically receives more money for funding
than is spent in a fiscal year, which then rolls into the next fiscal year
if it remains unused.
Bruce Carney, executive vice chancellor and provost, said the expected
increased funding will help UNC combat global issues.
“The new research funds will enable us to attack the fundamental problems
in the world today, like AIDS,” he said.
Carney said the possibility for more funding will also help graduate
students better research their interests and create beneficial projects.
Kayla Hall, a senior biology major, said she hopes to attend graduate school
and appreciates the University’s rise in rank.
“It will give students more opportunities to research and gain hands-on
experience in the lab,” she said. “If we had more funding, there would be
more resources available.”
Hall said graduate students have to apply for funding before starting their
projects.
Shelby Lake, a senior biology and English double major, said more funding
would provide students with better tools in lab projects.
“The number of people wanting to do research is increasing,” he said.
“But if there is more money, there will be more opportunities for students.”
