<p>In this slide, I am providing you with two years' worth of data, because I want you to see three aspects of our research funding - the considerable amount of our funding, the academic company in which we find ourselves, and the level of competition from year to year for these dollars. </p>
<p>If you compare research expenditures for 2000 and 2001, you will see the same universities in the top five of the rankings, but a dramatic shift occurs in the funding for the University of Wisconsin and UCLA. The funding for all of the top universities increased, but UCLA managed to make an impressive gain within one year, increasing its research funding by almost 30%.</p>
