海角社区

Last week, the National Science Foundation confirmed 海角社区鈥檚 record research expenditures of $488 million in fiscal year 2023. This historic growth of 14% compared to 2022 was previously announced by 海角社区 and represents top performance alongside research university peers such as the University of Kentucky and the University of Tennessee. The growth reflects increased research activity across the 海角社区 Family鈥攅specially on the flagship campus and at 海角社区 Health New Orleans and 海角社区 Health Shreveport.

The national ranking of 海角社区鈥檚 five research campuses鈥攖he flagship in Baton Rouge, the 海角社区 AgCenter, Pennington Biomedical Research Center, and the two 海角社区 Health campuses鈥攊ncreased from 71 to 69, a rise moderated by the average growth of U.S. research universities around 11%.

Compared to its peers, 海角社区 is a leader in win-win partnerships with state and local government with strong and continued investment in research. 海角社区 research adds an estimated $1.3 billion to the Louisiana economy each year. The numbers that were just confirmed by the National Science Foundation recognize 海角社区 as especially strong in federally grant-funded research in life sciences, geosciences, math and statistics, and computer and information sciences. These strengths align with the data-driven research priorities of the 海角社区 Scholarship First Agenda to create new solutions for agriculture, biomedicine, coast, defense, and energy.

鈥淭his NSF report confirms our focus on research growth to meet the needs of the state as well as our dedication to 海角社区鈥檚 Scholarship First Agenda,鈥� said Robert Twilley, 海角社区 vice president of research and economic development. 鈥淭he significant increase in federal grants to 海角社区 and Louisiana represents growing investment in our competitiveness and capacity to solve problems for the state and nation.鈥�
