Boise State set a school record in research and grants in fiscal 2010, as external funding grew by greater than 35 percent. Funding jumped from $37 million in 2009 to more than $50 million.
Awards from the National Science Foundation increased 40 percent to $6.8 million while the National Institute of Health awards nearly tripled to $6.1 million.
“No one knows what America’s next big idea will be. But thanks to the efforts of Boise State faculty and students to expand the borders of their disciplines in the creation of new knowledge, I firmly believe that their research and creative endeavors will play a role in that innovation,” says Boise State President Bob Kustra.
In addition to marking the biggest year-to-year rise in school history, the total also broke records regarding support from key federal entities, patents issued and impacts to local and state economies.
