Research at UNC-Chapel Hill fuels North Carolina's innovation economy
Posted Oct 26, 2014
At UNC Chapel Hill, research is big business. Thanks to strategic investments by the General Assembly in facilities, labs and infrastructure, annual research awards have risen from $249 million in 1996 to nearly $800 million. Today, Carolina ranks 11th in the nation in dollar volume of university research. Ninety percent of those dollars flow to North Carolina from outside sources — foundations, corporations and the federal government.
