Pennsylvania State University
Penn State faculty members continue to conduct significant research that not only advances knowledge but also serves the nation in important ways and helps improve the quality of life for all Americans.
Penn State's research expenditures increased once again in fiscal 2002 for major programs in nanotechnology; materials engineering; defense; transportation; children, youth, families; and other research areas which promise to make life better. If spending for research and creative activity from all sources of support are considered, including federal and Commonwealth funding, private industry, foundations, University infrastructure support, and institutional cost sharing, total expenditures for organized research at Penn State reached $507 million in fiscal 2002. The comparable figure for fiscal year 2001 was $472 million.
"Our faculty members are contributing new ideas and new technologies across a very wide spectrum of disciplines," notes Eva J. Pell, Vice President for Research, Dean of The Graduate School. "This is the power of a major research university — creating an environment where people from many disciplines can work together to solve major problems."
