Support for Research at Iowa Jumps 9 Percent


University of Iowa faculty continued to generate growth in extramural support in fiscal year 2010. Total external funding achieved is $466.5 million, which represents a 9 percent increase over 2009 and sets another record mark for the University.

Since 1967, when overall records were first kept, the University has attracted $7.1 billion in total external support. This productivity continues to place the University of Iowa among the nation's elite public research universities.

Funding from the Department of Health and Human Services, which includes the National Institutes of Health, increased by 11.7 percent for a total of $240.5 million.

UI President Sally Mason said, "This remarkable streak of record-breaking external support demonstrates how the talented members of the University of Iowa continue to pursue discovery and knowledge with both great skill and passion. Our success in nearly doubling our grants and contracts in the past 10 years shows how, even as we faced significant challenges in the past two years, the UI is an institution that achieves its aspirations of excellence and increasing impact on the lives of people across our state, as well as throughout the nation and world."
