SUMMARY OF EXTERNAL AWARDS
for the period
July 1, 1996 through June 30, 1997
Annual Report from the Office of Research
As one of the Nation's land grant universities, the University of
Wyoming executes several missions: to
educate its students, conduct research, and provide service and outreach. These missions are vitally interwoven at the University in a
strong, vigorous, academic community which serves the State of Wyoming.
Outstanding basic and applied research and creative activity at the
University promotes excellence in the classroom, and also can result in
regional, national, and international recognition for the institution.
Certainly this recognition enhances the value of every degree granted
by the University of Wyoming. Consequently,
superior research and scholarly activity is of direct benefit to the
University, its students, and its alumni.
Through the activities of our students, our faculty, and our staff, the
University of Wyoming is involved in a wide range of creative endeavors.
Members of the University community are actively engaged in the
creative and performing arts, and conduct basic and applied research in most
of our disciplines. During fiscal
year 1997, the University of Wyoming submitted 565 proposals to potential
sources for funding to support these research and creative activities.
This report contains a summary of the external awards which were
granted to the University during fiscal year 1997.
From July 1, 1996 through June 30, 1997, the University received 754
awards for funding from external sources totaling $39,741,589.
Table 1 summarizes these awards by college/unit within the University
and Table 2 provides a summary by the source of the funds.
Tables 3 through 10 summarize the funds awarded by sponsor for
departments within the University.
The largest portion of the total external funds granted to the
University in fiscal year 1997 was received from the federal government (61%).
The various federal agencies awarded $24,249,000 to the University for
research and other activities. This
continued federal support demonstrates a high degree of confidence in the
quality of the University's research programs, and it speaks to the high
caliber of our faculty and staff. State
of Wyoming agencies awarded $8,772,000 (22%), and $6,676,000 (17%) was granted
to the University from industry and other private organizations.
Indirect costs at the University of Wyoming are calculated by federal
audit which establishes the rate by which the University may recover funds to
reimburse costs it incurs that relate to research activity sponsored by the
federal government. The approved
federal indirect cost rate for sponsored projects is 41% of modified total
direct costs. Of the actual
amount collected on a fiscal year basis, 75 percent reimburses general
University expenses, five percent is allocated to the Office of Research, and
on an as-earned basis, 15 percent is distributed to the Department, and five
percent to the relevant College. The
dollar amount of the indirect costs collected during FY97 and returned to each
of the colleges on this basis is shown in Table 11.
Total contracts and grants awarded to the University of Wyoming during
FY97 represents a record amount of external funding for the eleventh
consecutive year. The graph on
page 13 shows the increases in total contracts and grants each fiscal year
from FY87 through FY97.
