Research Funding
When it comes to scholarship and research, we are an amazingly productive faculty. Our remarkable research productivity is reflected in the NRC rankings of quality, which are largely based on faculty performance. It is also reflected in our consistently high level of grant funding. Federal funding provides an indirect measure of the quality of faculty research as grant proposals undergo a rigorous peer review process.
Receipt of a federal grant indicates both that the research is important from a national perspective, and that it is of the highest quality. The high level of departmental grant funding signifies that our scientific community of peers has an extremely high regard for our faculty and their research programs.
Throughout the last decade, we have not only been one of the top psychology grant recipients in the country, we have also been one of the top Natural Science grant recipients in the College. For the last decade, we have been competing for first position in grant expenditures, neck and neck, with top research departments such as Physics and Chemistry, where grant sizes are often extremely large because of instrumentation needs.
