PITT CLIMBS TWO SPOTS IN NATIONAL R&D SURVEY
Every fiscal year, the Higher Education Research and Development (HERD) Survey collects data on research and development (R&D) spending at U.S. colleges and universities that have expended at least $150,000 in separately accounted-for R&D.¹ The survey is conducted by the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics within the National Science Foundation. For the 2022 fiscal year, Pitt climbed two spots in the overall ranking thanks to a 10.3% increase in research expenditures from the previous fiscal year, as reported in the survey. Pitt now sits at #16 (out of 900 institutions) and is part of a prestigious cohort that includes institutions such as Johns Hopkins University; the University of California, San Francisco; the University of Pennsylvania; the University of Michigan; Duke University; Stanford University; Harvard University; and Cornell University.
1 Separately accounted-for R&D refers to spending that is tracked in separate R&D accounts. This spending cannot be part of general expenditure accounts that include teaching salaries, other direct costs, etc.
