External funding increases 19 percent
Fargo, N.D., Nov. 8—External funding dollars for North Dakota State University increased 19 percent for fiscal 2000, according to the annual report being prepared by the NDSU Office of Research Administration. The funds, including grants and contracts awarded to NDSU by external funding entities, total $28,883,985.
This is the second fiscal year in a row that external funding rose by 19 percent.
Phil Boudjouk, vice president for research, creative activities and technology transfer, said he expects external funding to continue to rise in the years ahead. "With the development of the NDSU Research and Technology Park, we look forward to tremendous growth and partnership with industry," he said. "Faculty, staff and students are excited to develop the potential that exists here at NDSU. Economic development is the key to a bright future for North Dakota for generations to come."
The majority of funding dollars, 76 percent, were from federal sources. Other sources included 6 percent from the state, 6 percent from industry, 6 percent from commodity groups and 2 percent from private and public foundations. Another 4 percent of the funds came from miscellaneous sources, including other universities, research centers and non-profit organizations.
Copies of the annual report are expected to be mailed during November to faculty, deans, chairs and administrators. Extra copies will be available in December and may be requested from the Office of Research Administration, Old Main 201K, 231-8045 or ndsu_research@ndsu.nodak.edu.
