Top Private Universities on Pure Research $

College Search & Selection

<p>OK, so most of this data is old 1999, so maybe add 50-100 (or more?)million to the better US schools. The UK ones are 2004. This is on pure research and devlopment spending--not faculty spending. So a university funded project is counted, while a professor being paid a university salary, who happens to be conducting his own research is not. This obviously favors science and medicine oriented schools, and larger schools will spend more. I didn't include public schools, but they had huge numbers because of federal contracts and their size. </p>

<p>Half of Hopkins money is not really their's. It is for a federal institute JHU manages. JHU insists on running it through so that it makes the numbers better. It always gets a footnote in the rankings.</p>
