The University of Louisville recently announced a record-breaking $201.5 million in research funding for the 2021 fiscal year.
Kevin Gardner, U of L’s Executive Vice President for Research and Innovation, partly credited this accomplishment to U of L’s blooming status as a research university in the last several years. “We set a record last year that was $170 million in new awards in fiscal year ’20,” he said. That means that between fiscal year 2020 and fiscal year 2021, U of L increased its research funding by $30 million.
University research includes environmental health science, engineering, climate change, liver cancer and COVID-19.
