Research and innovation is growing at Fresno State. For the second consecutive year, the University received a record amount in research grants and contracts to fund projects across campus from cancer research to art programs, and student and faculty success.
Fresno State received 347 grants or contracts for a total of $46.7 million during the 2019-20 academic year. That’s a 3.6% increase in funding over the previous year. The University is among the top three California State University campuses for grants received this past year.
“Even in these unprecedented times, research continues to thrive at Fresno State, as evidenced by yet another record year for grant awards,” said Dr. James Marshall, dean of the Division of Research and Graduate Studies. “This is a tribute to the many dedicated and resilient faculty and staff members participating in grant-supported scholarship.”
The grants varied in amounts and were awarded by nationally-known science and agricultural institutions, state agencies and local organizations looking to collaborate on projects that can benefit the related industries and the Central Valley region.
