Florida International
University emphasizes research as a major component
of its mission. Sponsored research funding from outside
sources grew more than four-fold over the last decade,
from $13.4 million in 1990-91 to $61.2 million in
2000-01. These funds, secured through contracts and
grants from private foundations, corporations, and
federal and state agencies, are used to conduct research,
provide stipends for graduate students and improve
research facilities. The Carnegie Foundation for the
Advancement of Teaching classifes FIU as a Doctoral/Research
University-Extensive, the highest ranking in the organization's
prestigious classification system.
