  • Dandelions are used to symbolize research activity at Pitt through sponsored research proposals submitted and awarded in FY 2024. Each dandelion represents a research field within the University, with the total number of seeds representing all proposals submitted during the fiscal year.

    The yellow seeds, floating away, represent the percentage of successful proposals that received funding. 

    The white seeds left on the dandelion show the percentage of proposals that were submitted but did not secure funding.

    For this visualization, we have only considered new research proposals submitted. Continuation grants have been excluded. 

    Data is current as of 07/10/2024
