Productivity and Funding

Summary

• The average number of peer-reviewed publications reached a faculty all-time high in 2016.
• Increases this year occurred across all tenure levels and across 9/10 academic sub-disciplines.
• Grant activity reached an all-time high in fiscal year 2017 (both in number and award amount). An increase in grant proposals over the past two years has led to an increase in accepted proposals.
• Analysis of FY 2017 proposals suggests the surge of submissions has come from faculty early in their career with the largest number submitted by assistant professors.
• Faculty from ENCS and science disciplines occupy the largest percentage of proposals.
• Separate analysis of expenditures reveals the impact that external funding to the nursing department has had on the campus in the past two years.
