Institutes and Centers |
| University
faculty conduct academic research as individual
members of an academic department, or as part
of a center or institute (C&I) that may have
an affiliation with a department. Since World
War II, university-based centers and institutes
nationwide have played an increasingly important
role in Research and Development (R&D) activities.
As settings for scientific discovery and technological
development, C&Is serve as an important organizational
focus for attracting research funding from federal,
state, and industrial sponsors. Universities depend
on and compete heavily for external and internal
research dollars. The federal government is the
largest source of external (contract and grant)
funding. Top funding providers include the National
Science Foundation, Health and Human Services,
Department of Education, and the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration.* |
