FY 19 by the numbers…
The Year By The Numbers: A Record Year for Research (1) Total Expenditures reported to NSF via the Higher Education Research and Development survey include Sponsored Agreement 53 accounts, Agriculture Experiment Station, Gifts, Research Related 22 accounts, Research Building Revolving Fund, Professional Veterinary Medicine Accounts, Super Cluster, Sweep , Cost Share and Unrecovered Facilities and Administrative Costs.
FY 19 by the numbers… Corporate Strategic Partnerships
A First of its Kind Corporate Discovery and Innovation Partnership for CSU • World’s largest animal health company • Established ‘Idea Incubator’ at Foothills Campus • Hiring 15-20 local scientists in livestock health • Engaged to establish research and student collaborations and work in our core labs • Focus on early stage R&D in areas relevant to Colorado Agriculture • Cluster Hire in similar areas underway at CSU which will bring largest talent pool in livestock health in the US to region These partnerships will require new attention to technology transfer channels and CSURF/OVPR operations 8 VICE PRESIDENT FOR RESEARCH
