UH sets new extramural funding record of $515.9M in 2023
For the second consecutive year, the University of Hawai’i has set a record in extramural funding at $515.9 million for fiscal year 2023 (FY2023), $10.9 million more over the previous record of $505 million set in FY2022.
UH Manoa, the flagship campus of UH’s 10 campus system, led the extramural award amounts this year with $342.7 million. The UH System brought in $117.7 million, UH Community Colleges totaled $33.7 million, UH Hilo received $17.8 million and UH West O‘ahu totaled $4 million.
Extramural funding is external investments from governmental agencies such as the federal government, industry and non-profit organizations that support research and training activities conducted by university faculty and staff. Extramural projects support research and innovation that help to increase knowledge and provide solutions to improve quality of life.
“Every dollar invested by one of our extramural sponsors is a vote of confidence that UH faculty, staff and students are creating a better future for Hawai’i and the world,” said UH President David Lassner. “This includes everything from climate change, resilience, water quality and energy solutions to addressing health disparities, educational inequities, feeding our population, and training Hawai’i’s people for the jobs of today and tomorrow.”
Research conducted by the University of Hawai‘i impacts the quality of life in the islands and around the world. As the state’s major research university, and because of Hawai‘i’s tremendous geographic diversity, UH plays a prominent role in the state’s economic growth and development through its diverse and world-renowned research and innovation programs in astronomy, earth and ocean sciences, medicine and tropical agriculture.
