ULM, as per the LSU rule, is a regional university. Research isn’t one of their objectives.

Well, the 'Belt is a chimaera. We were the dregs, and we took what we could get. Suddenly we're atop G5 football... and the additions of USM & ODU gave us a boost in academics. Hence the erratic numbers.
However, we don't want to buy stocks based on price, but growth. Look before the 2022 totals at the trends: Troy, Coastal, App, JMU, Ga Southern are obviously beginning to look seriously at academics, and they are starting to parlay their athletics into academics... which is good news.

Alabama also increased its academic ranking since football reclaimed its elite status. So academic sucking on the tete of sports success.

Where are the numbers after 2019?

You're probably looking at them on your phone... when I did that, I couldn't scroll to the side to see them all. Try using a laptop/desktop.

Help me out please. NSF means something entirely different to me; one of the reasons I don't write checks anymore! :)

Final answer? Sounds good to me, thanks!

Sure. Final answer.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent agency of the United States federal government that supports fundamental research and education in all the non-medical fields of science and engineering. Its medical counterpart is the National Institutes of Health. With an annual budget of about $8.3 billion (fiscal year 2020), the NSF funds approximately 25% of all federally supported basic research conducted by the United States' colleges and universities.[4] In some fields, such as mathematics, computer science, economics, and the social sciences, the NSF is the major source of federal backing.

My red meat filled gut is telling me that blue haired, nose ringed WV students are having a hissy fit.
Fiscal '23 ended Sept 30th.....very good probability UL moves to #1 in Belt rankings.
Re: SBC Research Production
UL’s research trend over the years shown is phenomenal. And more to come.

You bet! Lots of hand wringing. Probably a lot less safe spaces. All joking aside, they’re focusing mainly on eliminating degrees with a low ROI.
And done while the state had a 1.8 billion surplus.
Our state could have a 1.8 billion surplus and quickly spend 2 billion on useless stuff.

Losing a PhD in math is not a trivial problem.
As for UL, you are right, 2023 should see substantial growth. But I believe that the recent $87M grant— the largest for any university in the state's history— will show up in 2024, when we may pass $300M. That would jump us from #132 to #100.
And when the new biomed centers open in tandem with the NIRC, to quote T-lapin:
"Watchow!"
Re: SBC Research Production
Call me naive, but I still cannot understand why in a community that is focused so much on the health care of the region, there is not a medical school at UL. It seems that the demand for GPs is really great in rural areas of Louisiana, and a medical school at UL would be a natural fit.

Re: SBC Research Production
Lately when people ask me why doesn't Louisiana.edu have a medical school? I say..
"Their R one"
They think I've answered the question..

You've lived here how long? And you're asking that question?
There are two answers, and you know them both. One is price, the second is politics.
However, it is no secret that T-Joe has been working on a med school for a long time. I am hearing conflicting reports about how close we are.
But I would remind everyone that the next governor is one of our alums, and this is his base. There would be a lot wins for him if we were to land a med school here.
Re: SBC Research Production
The thing that is different now than in the past is the proliferation of all of these for profit medical schools, like the one in Monroe. There must be a need for this that is not being met. With all of the new facilities coming on line (like the old OLOL hospital) it would seem like the money for this would be doable. But yes, I get the politics involved.

The "for profit" med schools exist because they saw a void, or a need for.
Somebody dropped the ball, somebody picked it up.

And LSU Med had to bless the private med schools. It’s why UL doesn’t want one.
