In the last <strong>10</strong> years, the number <strong>of</strong> UA’s active primary investigators (PIs) has increased<br />
12%, and the number <strong>of</strong> awards has increased 4%; however, award dollars have<br />
increase 121%. This can be attributed to UA’s research excellence, which allows the<br />
faculty to actively seek larger grants, including dedicated centers, such as the College<br />
<strong>of</strong> Engineering’s Ohio Transportation Center, funded by the U.S. Department <strong>of</strong><br />
Transportation.<br />
