Externally Sponsored Grants & Contracts
FY 2014 TOTALSDuring the previous fiscal year, MU
scientists and scholars generated high
levels of sponsored research and
instruction and public service support
from a variety of external sponsors.
During the previous fiscal year, I have been privileged to oversee what I believe
will be an important change in the way scientists and scholars at the University of Missouri think about our work. This effort is centered on encouraging collaboration among faculty at our four University System campuses, building closer ties to businesses that can leverage our discoveries, supporting campus-based entrepreneurs and next-generation enterprises, and opening up restrictive intellectual property policies that might impede their progress.
Though our policies are new, this shift in thinking is deeply rooted in our long history, tracing its origins back more than 150 years to the passage of the Morrill Act, the visionary 19th century legislation that helped create the American Century.
Through Morrill, our land-grant universities provided broad access to higher
education for people of all backgrounds, and played a significant role in advancing the state of U.S. agriculture and industry. By the end of the 20th century, the mission of the land grant institutions rested firmly on the three strong pillars: teaching, research and outreach.
Today, many land-grant universities have added the types of economic development efforts detailed above as a fourth pillar under their missions. This phenomenon is the result of several factors, among them the irreversible loss of jobs after the economic crises of 2000 and 2008, global competition causing many of the largest American companies to cut research budgets, U.S. innovation slowing due to decreased state and federal investment in research, and a greater expectation for research universities to play a larger role in economic development.
As this report will show, the size and scope of our research enterprise provides us the perfect platform from which to grow into this new role. And you can be sure that we are committed to being among the very best Midwestern land-grant institutions in converting the products of our research and scholarship into innovations that will improve the lives of people here in Missouri, across our nation and around the world.
Centers of ExcellenceResearch centers at the University Missouri provide an important locus for the advancement of a variety of scientific, scholarly and therapeutic goals. Those listed below are among the University’s largest and most prominent, but others also make important contributions. You’ll find links to digital resources from all of MU’s research centers at research.missouri.edu/about/centers.

MURRThe 10-megawatt reactor at the MU Research Reactor, or MURR, is not only the largest and most unique facility of its kind in the United States, but also one of the best and most reliable sources for students, scientists, engineers and industry representatives worldwide. Scientists working at MURR are leaders in developing crucial cancer-fighting radiopharmaceuticals, and continue to make important contributions in archaeometry, boron-neutron capture technology, materials science, trace-element research, and other fields.
THOMPSON CENTERFounded in 2005, the Thompson Center for Autism and Neurodevelopmental Disorders at the University of Missouri is a national leader in confronting the challenges of autism & other developmental conditions through its collaborative research, training and service programs. Its diagnostic, assessment and treatment services emphasize family-centered care that is comprehensive, coordinated, compassionate, culturally sensitive, and accessible for all.
DALTON CENTERAt the Dalton Cardiovascular Research Center, more than 40 affiliated faculty scientists are working to understand the causes of many of the world’s most devastating illnesses, including hypertension, cancer, cystic fibrosis and heart disease. It’s knowledge that will ultimately contribute to the development of new and improved therapies — treatments with the potential to improve the health and wellbeing of millions.
CHISTOPHER S. BOND LIFE SCIENCES CENTER Scientists from 12 departments/divisions in six MU schools and colleges are housed in the Bond Life Sciences Center, one of the nation’s first truly interdisciplinary research facilities. Its award-winning design includes state-of-the-art laboratories, shared meeting areas and public spaces providing unmatched opportunities for interdisciplinary biomedical science and agricultural biotechnology research.

This chart, by breaking out expenditures for the four centers detailed above, provides a clearer picture of how center activities contribute to the University’s overall research enterprise.
2 RESEARCH DIVISION FY 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 43
Instruction & Public ServiceExpenditure Totals Decline, but Awards Register Big Increase
Instruction and Public Service expenditures
tallied just over $76.2 million in FY 2014, a slight decline from last year’s total. Newly awarded IPS funds [not pictured] saw significant gains however, increasing to $85.1 million, a 16 percent rise over last year’s $71.2 million total.
As in previous years, the federal government was the largest single sponsor of University IPS activity in FY 2014, providing some 46 percent of total expenditures and 79 percent of newly awarded funds. MU Extension accounted for the largest share of externally funded IPS expenditures. The College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources’ total of more than $11.4 million was its highest ever, up significantly over its FY 2013 total of $9.8 million.
