First, the BAD NEWS:

45th of 51 Oklahoma’s Federal R&D funding capture rate is low: Oklahoma ranks 37th in federal income tax payment. SOURCE – Chronicle of Higher Education 2006

23 public PUIs (11 U; 12 CC) – 1,500 to 17,000 students 11 sponsored programs offices (7 U; 4 CC) 10 are centralized, (3 have 1 FTE; 7 have 2 FTE) pre-award services + some post-award 1 decentralized model - 1 FTE/each of 5 colleges 12 independent colleges & universities – 2 offices

Oklahoma Research $ - 2006 $447,000,000 for 2006 PUIs – 15% Fed $ PUIs – 69% students

Grantsmanship is getting better! Now, the GOOD NEWS…. Grantsmanship is getting better! In 2004, Oklahoma was 49th in the nation! SOURCE – NSF 2003 We have a growing grants culture state conferences: 2004 = 1; 2007 = 6 national rank 49th to 45th 2 more sponsored programs offices 4.0 added FTE 2 major promotions to VP level from 4 to 6 UG Research fairs
