University of Iowa says it set another record for grant funding

July 29, 2009 By admin

The University of Iowa says funding for research set another record in 2008 despite the major flooding that displaced and interrupted many programs. U-I, interim vice president for research and economic development, Jordan Cohen, announced the numbers today.

He says the total external awards were almost $430-million, with the largest amount coming from federal funding. Cohen says this was a 10.3% increase in funding over last year. Cohen says much of the research money goes to the University Hospitals.

Cohen says a large percentage of the research awards came from the Department of Health and Human Services and the National Institutes for Health (N-I-H) and Centers for Disease Control. He says while health research is a focus of that funding, a lot of the N-I-H funding is distributed across many colleges in the university.

Cohen says this was the seventh straight year the school set a record for external funding and says it’s a “remarkable accomplishment” given the economic situation. Funding from the Department of Health & Human Services was $216.4 million dollars, up 5.5%.
