Issued the following announcement on Oct. 26
Southern Illinois University Carbondale in the last fiscal year remained a powerhouse of research, funded by millions of dollars in grants and contracts from government and private sources.
Despite the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, faculty researchers on the Carbondale campus brought in more than $44.7 million in outside research and service-based grants and contracts. That amount was an increase of more than $7 million beyond the previous five years following the state budget impasse.
The success kept SIU firmly included among Carnegie doctoral research universities in the country, as well as cementing it as the top-ranked “high research activity” institution in its class in Illinois.
