Is R1 status permanent or do we have to maintain and get reinspected and need to re-cert every so many years

To achieve the “R1” classification, a university must meet the following requirements: award at least 20 research/scholarship doctoral degrees in the update year; spend at least $5 million in total research (as reported through the National Science Foundation (NSF) Higher Education Research & Development Survey (HERD)); and, score high in a Research Activity Index calculation.

The Carnegie Classification list is updated every three years and provides a framework for administrators, policymakers, and researchers and impacts decisions on grant-making and federal and state funding for institutions. Overall, about 3,900 institutions were recognized in the 2021 classifications, down from 4,300 in 2018 and 4,600 in 2015.

We have to be re-evaluated, not sure of the cycle length.

BTW, Tier 1, R1, and SREB Doc I are all different. Doc I is based on 100 PhDs/year, in 10 categories. I asked an administrator about that recently, because state funding is based on SREB. He said it's not a big priority right now, because the Leg hasn't fully funded it since Kathleen.

"It depends" is a much better answer than Maybe.

…..We must be proactive in keeping our rankings by trying to add the different qualifying numbers each year……also Doc Fun might know some other ranking agencies for UL to be represented in yearly….US News?
