The state of research
Indiana University received $732,886,666 in sponsored funding in FY 2021 to support research, instruction, and service. This includes large gains in NIH funding for the IU School of Medicine.
The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic created many constraints for university researchers. We are proud of the remarkable achievement, resilience, and dedication of all of our faculty who pursue vital research, especially the steady gains made by our School of Medicine faculty. We are also grateful to our many partners throughout Indiana and around the globe who make this research possible.
