Research University Competition


and Financial Challenges

Each year as we prepare the Top American Research


Universities report, we consider the state of and the context
for competition among these institutions. The data reflect
the work of about two years past, and sometimes this
exercise feels a bit nostalgic when we find ourselves in a
recently and significantly challenged environment for high
performing institutions. Nonetheless, some of what we
have learned over the years of these reports helps put the
recent and anticipated events in some perspective.

Research Competition and


Institutional Resources

In this continuing effort, made perhaps even more interesting in the current economic context, we have learned that
while money matters in all institutions and is critical for
the research enterprise, the exact structure of university
budgets and the methods available to generate and spend
money vary considerably. Not only do public and private
universities operate within somewhat different, if overlapping, financial structures, but within each sector different
institutions will have significantly different budgeting and
resource allocation systems; legal, regulatory, and historical
constraints; and institutional profiles. Those institutions
with large resident student bodies operate within a much
different framework than those with much smaller student
populations. Those with larger numbers of graduate students compared to undergraduates will have different cost
structures. Those funded in substantial amounts by state
appropriated revenue and less by student fees will have a
different context than those whose revenue comes primarily
from tuition and endowment. Institutions whose facilities
are funded by state bond issues paid by state appropriations
as a state obligation have a different capital construction
process than do those universities that finance their buildings through debt paid from institutional annual earned
revenue.

Some universities have a more substantial commitment to


high cost programs in health care, the STEM disciplines,
and professional schools than others. Some institutions, by
virtue of their funding model, spend much more on need
based financial aid than others; some spend much more on
merit-based aid. These are but a few of the many differences that have significant impact on institutional management and influence the budget allocations that serve to
support high performance research competition. If we
attempt to understand research university competitiveness
by focusing on only one or a subset of these (which them-

The Center for Measuring University Performance

selves are a subset of the many other variations in university operations), we are sure to over generalize and miss
important distinctions that influence research university
performance.
Measuring Institutional Wealth

Although this complexity makes it difficult to offer valid


generalizations about the wisdom of particular university
policies that affect income and expenses, it helps us
understand that while research universities may have
significantly different revenue sources and manage their
expenditures in substantially different ways, the revenue
imperative is a constant for all institutions. Some measure
of institutional wealth is clearly a primary indicator of a
universitys ability to compete in a marketplace where the
critical and scarce elements of high performing faculty,
staff, and student talent, and the support structures required
to ensure their effectiveness, must all be purchased.

A casual review of the financial data available on the top


American research universities gives the clear impression
that the best performing institutions on our measures are
also among the wealthiest. Nonetheless, because these
high performing institutions vary in size, funding structure,
student and program composition, and ownership (public or
private) the measurement of institutional wealth in a useful
way has proved difficult. In the 2002 report, we approximated institutional wealth to see how closely it might predict research performance. In that exercise, we identified,
by using a method that estimated the endowment equivalent
of all sources of institutional income from every source,
and then discounted that number to adjust for the baseline
cost of instruction, what we could call disposable income,
as the critical measure of institutional wealth for our
purposes.
By disposable wealth, we mean the funds available for
an incremental investment in institutional priorities after
paying an estimate of the baseline cost of instruction.
Those priorities could be high quality undergraduate programs to attract better students, grants to graduate students,
support for research proposals to the federal government,
science facilities, libraries, computer systems, or, in short,
anything above the baseline cost of instruction that would
improve the universitys competitive position. Implicit in
this notion is that disposable wealth represents an opportunity, not a guarantee. If a university has no disposable
income after paying the cost of instruction, there is very
little opportunity to compete in the marketplace for the
scarce and expensive talent that drives research success.
However, the availability of disposable income does not
necessarily mean the university will spend it effectively in
competing for those elements of institutional activity that
define research performance.

The Top American Research Universities


The endowment equivalent exercise gave a clear indication
that institutional wealth is indeed a key indicator of an
opportunity for competitive research performance, but the
methodology required considerable estimation. Our staff
has been working on alternative methodologies using
official financial statements. This effort, which takes
advantage of some clarifications in the reporting standards
for public and private institutions, offers the possibility of
a more precise measurement of institutional wealth. For
example, we can calculate an estimate of net assets and
net assets per student.

This measure, like the disposable income indicator calculated earlier, has its own methodological difficulties. While
it includes some adjustment for capital facilities, the data
do not appear to capture all of the relevant facilities costs
in the same way for all public and private institutions or
uniformly within the category of public institutions.
Nonetheless, when we compare net assets to federal
research expenditures for the top 50 institutions in our
group of over $40M annual research expenditures (excluding medical and stand alone institutions to focus on more
or less standard research universities), there appears to be
a clear relationship between the ranking of the research
institutions and their net assets. More careful analysis and
some improvements in the data that we expect in next
years financial reports should allow the calculation of a
better estimate of the relationship, but no matter how we
look at these institutions and their resources, sufficient
revenue to support the high cost of research performance
appears a necessity.
The Impact of Revenue Declines on
University Competitiveness

The recent dramatic reduction in state income and endowment wealth, now partially in recovery, highlights the
importance of institutional wealth. Research universities,
whether public or private, have been struggling with the
consequences of these revenue declines using a variety of
adjustment techniques in different proportions depending
on the specific circumstances of the institution and its revenue context. Layoffs, furloughs, postponed construction
projects; tuition and fee increases, program reductions, and
some structural rearrangements in institutional organization
have either taken place or are under discussion.

Faced with rapid and significant declines in revenue


from traditional sources, the first cycle of cost reduction
measures served to produce quick and often opportunistic
savings with minimal damage to institutional and programmatic integrity. Many institutions, with memories of previous financial downturns, implemented various adjustments
with the expectation that the financial cycle would be of
sufficiently short duration to require no major institutional
changes. Others, either because they anticipated a longer

down cycle or suffered a larger impact on their revenue as


a result of local circumstances or the composition of their
revenue, began reviewing the continued viability of their
institutional mission leading to the implementation of
significant institutional change.

The recalibration of university finances to accommodate


lower revenue from various sources has consequences for
all areas of institutional activity including undergraduate
programs, diversity opportunities, athletic enterprises,
and extending into the competitive success of research
programs. The adjustment process and the elements of a
research universitys mission affected will vary widely
between public and private sectors and within sectors.
Unlike many previous financial crises, however, the dramatic decline of stock market values and the exposure of
many private institutions to the consequences of high-yield,
high-risk investment strategies have required those private
and public institutions significantly dependent on endowment income to consider longer-term adjustment strategies.
The financial challenge affects most institutions, but
individual colleges and universities will respond in different ways depending on the composition of their revenue.
Where institutional budgets depend on legislative appropriations in states suffering dramatic revenue declines, the
impact of the financial crisis can be severe, but where
institutional budgets depend more on tuition and fees, the
impact may be less. Institutions whose budgets depend
significantly on endowment earnings may find the income
available for competitive investments and even the continued maintenance of high levels of performance substantially reduced.
Readjustment Strategies

In moments of major economic crises, transitional financial


readjustments often look more traumatic than they turn out
to be. Even though this current economic downturn is
more severe and longer than those of the recent past, and
even though the impact on both state revenue for public
universities and endowment wealth for private and many
public universities is more significant than in previous
cycles, it is not yet clear that the readjustments currently
taking place at research universities will result in a major
change in the competitive marketplace. In part this is because most research universities have stable faculty and
student populations, multiple sources of income, not all
of which is equally subject to the effects of the economic
crisis, and sophisticated management structures capable of
limiting the consequences of the revenue losses without
catastrophic readjustments.

Nonetheless, different strategies for handling the abrupt and


in many cases continuing loss of some revenue will have
different consequences. In addition, as mentioned above,

2009 Annual Report

The Top American Research Universities


universities have complex revenue and expenditure
structures that reflect the widely varying circumstances,
missions, and scale of their operations. Tuition and
fees remain a source of revenue not yet subject to major
declines for these research institutions. The range of
support from state government to public institutions varies
dramatically from as much as 30% or more of the institutional budget to under 5%. Some states have found ways
to buffer, if in many cases only temporarily, the loss of
state revenue. However positioned, competitive research
institutions have many tools for budget adjustment, and if
creatively employed, they can moderate the impact of the
declines in revenue and preserve the capacity to continue
to compete effectively. The complexity and stability of
research universities makes estimates of the changes in
competitiveness that could result from the resolution of the
current global economic decline speculative. Whatever
change in performance occurs as a result of revenue losses
and differential institutional responses, any substantial
reordering in the hierarchy of research university performance will likely take place slowly over a five to ten year
period.

The principal goal of the many adjustments strategies in


research universities will likely be the preservation of their
ability to sustain the competition for talent. As a result,
strategies that employ institutional reserves to maintain the
status quo may, depending on the length of the economic
recovery, leave institutions at a disadvantage relative to
universities that readjust more significantly to guarantee
the availability of money to recruit the next generation of
faculty and sustain the highly productive research groups
already at the institution. Some who do this well will have
the resources to raid high performing research groups
from institutions less effectively managed.

However individual universities respond, and how effectively they take advantage of the opportunities a crisis
provides, will depend on a wide range of structural, institutional, political, and financial circumstances. Much of the
public conversation that affects research universities will
focus on the cost and structure of undergraduate programs,
especially in public institutions. While this will be a critical conversation for those institutions, especially where the
volume of undergraduates sustains portions of the research
enterprise, it is not necessarily critical to the research
enterprise. Some institutions, public or private, will surely
reevaluate the wide scope of activities these research
universities support, some of which may no longer be economically viable. Speculation on these topics is a favorite
academic activity, exaggerated expectations of dramatic
change add drama to the exercise, but our experience in
studying these top American research universities recommends caution in anticipating big changes. High performing universities will continue to perform better than others,

The Center for Measuring University Performance

even in a constrained resource environment. Less effective


institutions will likely remain less effective. The consequence of this challenged economic environment may
simply increase the competitive advantage of the most
successful universities.
The Stability of Research University Performance

It is more difficult to predict how much of this will affect


the competitive balance among research institutions. Over
the years we have been impressed with the remarkable
stability in the rankings of research universities based on
their annual expenditures from federally funded sources.
This stability is particularly notable at the top of the distribution, although as we look farther down the list, there is
more change in relative position. If we look at the five
years between 2002 and 2007, and focus on the most successful of Americas research universities, those with over
$40M in federal research expenditures, we can get a sense
of the competitive dynamics.

Among the top 20 public and private research universities


in 2007, only one was not among the top 20 in 2002. This
means that two universities changed places: one moved
up from number 35 in 2002 to number 20 in 2007, and 1
moved down from number 20 in 2002 to number 23 in
2007. In addition to the institution that dropped out of the
top twenty, 7 kept the same rank, 6 moved down in rank,
and 6 moved up. Another way to look at this, and other
groups in the list, is to look at the difference between institutions, which gives a sense of the amount of research
expenditure required to change rank. Although the range
of research expenditures in this top 20 group, excluding
the outlier of Johns Hopkins, is about $307M, the distance
that separates one institution from the next highest ranked
university ranges from about $46M to $9M. These numbers
indicate why precision in ranking numbers is less important
that maintaining a competitive position with the group.
The stability in this top group contrasts with the pattern
we find when we look at the twenty institutions ranking
last or at the bottom among those with over $40M in federal research expenditures in 2007. Among this bottom 20,
some six institutions fell from a higher ranked group into
the last 20. Moreover, within the last 20, some 12 institutions declined and 7 institutions increased in rank, with
only one staying the same. This greater ranking volatility
reflects the much smaller amount of research expenditures
that separate institutions in the last group. The university
with the largest amount in this group has $2.7M more
federal research expenditures than the institution with the
smallest amount. The smallest gap separating an institution
from the next highest ranked is only $6,000 in federal
research expenditures while the largest gap in this group is
still only $2.7M.

The Top American Research Universities


Dramatic increases in competitive position that would
move a university from the middle of one group of 20 institutions to the middle of the next group are relatively rare.
For example in the five years from 2002 to 2007 only four
institutions out of the over $40M group moved up 20 or
more positions. For those institutions in this high performing group, none failed to increase their federal research
expenditures in this period. The amount of growth varied,
of course. Excluding Johns Hopkins, the increases ranged
from as much as $198M to as little as $2M. In percentage
terms, the median growth rate for research expenditures
between 2002 and 2007 equaled about 28%. The pool of
dollars represented by these institutions grew from $17.4B
in 2002 to $24.1B in 2007 or an increase of 55%. An institution would have needed to grow at about 11% a year to
maintain its share of the groups research expenditures.

Other elements that contribute to research university preeminence exhibit similar stability over time. Indicators that
reflect faculty performance such as National Academy
memberships or faculty awards are concentrated among a
relatively few institutions, most of which also rank high on
federal research expenditures. Universities that award many
doctoral degrees, recruit outstanding students, and capture
large amounts of annual giving are likely to continue to
do so. While the current economic malaise may last longer
than previous economic downturns, the broad impact on
most major public and private research universities will
likely result in only a modest impact on relative
performance.

All of this simply testifies to the remarkable stability of


research university hierarchies. The investment, institutional commitment, departmental and program focus on
competitive quality, and infrastructure for research and the
associated processes of faculty recruitment and institutional
investment are difficult to create. Once built, they pose a
formidable entry barrier to institutions that anticipate
breaking into this elite group or making dramatic advances
within the group. Nonetheless, some universities have

significantly improved their competitive position over


the years, and institutional readjustments to the current
economic downturn and recovery may contribute to somewhat larger changes in the relative ranking of institutions
on the indicators included in the Top American Research
Universities. We anticipate that the current economic
readjustments will most affect universities in the bottom
half of the over $40M group.

The Top American Research Universities report will


continue to track the performance of these high-powered
research enterprises. With the data recorded in the reports
published here dating back to 1996, we can continue to
observe changes in the research competitiveness of these
universities.
Adjustments to The Top American Research
Universities

In our continuing effort to improve the usefulness of these


reports, we have made some changes over the years. A
year ago we recalibrated our definition of the top American
research universities at over $40M in federal research
expenditures. This cutoff captures some 90% of federal
research expenditures recorded for American universities.
In addition, we began an effort to separate out the research
performance of institutions with and without the federal
research funding spent through medical schools. This provided another way of increasing the utility of comparisons
among institutions since often, although not always, medical schools contribute a substantial research component
to recorded university totals. In next years report, we
will remove the non-university medical and other research
institutions from our main list and include them in a separate table. By removing these more highly focused institutions from the main list, the comparisons will more closely
track the performance of comprehensive research universities. As always, we will continue to provide all the data in
downloadable form so that institutional researchers can
construct the most appropriate comparisons for their own
purposes.

Part I The Top American Research Universities

The Center for Measuring University Performance determines the Top American Research Universities by their
rank on nine different measures: Total Research, Federal
Research, Endowment Assets, Annual Giving, National
Academy Members, Faculty Awards, Doctorates Granted,
Postdoctoral Appointees, and SAT/ACT range. (The Source
Notes section of this study provides detailed information
on each of the nine indicators.) The tables group research
institutions according to how many times they rank in the
top 25 on each of these nine measures. The top category
includes those universities that rank in the top 25 on all
nine indicators. The bottom category includes universities
with only one of the nine measures ranked in the top 25.
Within these groups, institutions are then sorted by how
many times they rank between 26 and 50 on the nine performance variables, with ties listed alphabetically. A similar
methodology produces a second set of institutionsthose
ranked 26 through 50 on the same nine measures.

For the purpose of this study, The Center for Measuring


University Performance includes only those institutions
that had at least $40 million in federal research expenditures in fiscal year 2007. This is the same dollar cutoff used
last year. There were 160 institutions who met our criteria
for fiscal year 2007, 113 public and 47 private.

The first two tables list each institution with the most current data available for each measure and its corresponding
national rank (i.e., rank among all institutions regardless
of whether they are privately or publicly controlled). The
third and fourth tables provide the same nine data measures
but with the groupings determined by the control rank
(i.e., rank among all private or all public institutions).
Institutions ranking in the top 25 on at least one measure
are included in the tables with the (1-25) identifier, while
those ranking 26 through 50 are found in the tables labeled
with the (26-50) header.
The Top American Research Universities (1-25)
identifies the 51 institutions (27 private, 25 public)
that rank in the top 25 nationally on at least one of the
nine measures.

The Top American Research Universities (26-50)


identifies the 37 institutions (8 private, 26 public) that
rank 26 through 50 nationally on at least one of the
nine measures.

The Top Private Research Universities (1-25)


identifies the 36 private institutions that rank in the top
25 among all private universities on at least one of the
nine measures.
The Top Private Research Universities (26-50)
identifies the 11 private institutions that rank 26
through 50 among their private counterparts on at
least one of the nine measures.

The Top Public Research Universities (1-25)


identifies the 43 public institutions that rank in the top
25 among all public universities on at least one of the
nine measures.
The Top Public Research Universities (26-50)
identifies the 40 public institutions that rank 26
through 50 among their public counterparts on at
least one of the nine measures.

Many research universities rank highly both nationally and


among their public or private peers, and therefore appear in
more than one table. For example, of the 36 private institutions in the Top Private Research Universities (1-25) table,
27 universities also appear in the Top American Research
Universities (1-25) table.
Data found in these tables may not always match the
figures published by the original source. The Center for
Measuring University Performance makes adjustments,
when necessary, to ensure that the data reflect the activity
at a single campus rather than that of a multiple-campus
institution or state university system. When data are missing from the original source, The Center for Measuring
University Performance may substitute another figure, if
available. A full discussion of this subject, and the various
adjustments or substitutions made to the original data, is
in the Data Notes section of this report.
The Center for Measuring University Performance
presents these tables, along with prior years top universities, in Microsoft Excel spreadsheets on its web site
[http://mup.asu.edu].

The Center for Measuring University Performance

The Top American Research Universities

Part II The Center for Measuring University


Performance Research Universities

The Center for Measuring University Performances


research universities consist of academic institutions that
had more than $40 million in federal research expenditures
in fiscal year 2007. In the following tables, institutions are
listed alphabetically with the most current data available on
each measure and their rank on each measure for each year.
The Center for Measuring University Performance provides both the national rank (rank among all universities)
and the control rank (rank within private or public universities). We include five years of data for each measure, which
correspond to the same data years used in each of the five
prior The Top American Research Universities reports. In
addition to the nine performance variables presented in Part
I tables, these tables also include other institutional characteristics related to student enrollment, medical schools, land
grant status, ownership, research focus, and National Merit
and National Achievement Scholars. The Source Notes
section of this report provides detailed information on each
data element. Tables in this section include the following:
Total Research Expenditures (2003-2007)

Federal Research Expenditures (2003-2007)


Research by Major Discipline (2007)
Endowment Assets (2004-2008)
Annual Giving (2004-2008)

National Academy Membership (2004-2008)


Faculty Awards (2004-2008)

Doctorates Awarded (2004-2008)

Postdoctoral Appointees (2003-2007)


SAT Scores (2003-2007)

National Merit and Achievement Scholars


(2004-2008)

Change: Research presents trend data on total,


federal, and non-federal research (1998 and 2007)
in constant dollars.

Change: Private Support and Doctorates provides


trend data on endowment assets (1999 and 2008) and
annual giving (1999 and 2008) in constant dollars, and
doctorates awarded (1999 and 2008).

Change: Students includes trend data on SAT/ACT


ranges (1999 and 2007), National Merit and Achievement Scholars (2003 and 2008), and student headcount
enrollment (1998 and 2007).

Institutional Characteristics includes state location,


highest degree offered, medical school and land grant
status, federal research focus (summary of federal
research by discipline), and total student enrollment.
Student Characteristics provides headcount enrollment data broken out by level (i.e., undergraduate,
graduate, first-professional), part-time enrollment by
level, and degrees awarded.

The Center for Measuring University Performance


measures presents the number of times a university
ranks in the top 25 (or 26-50) on the nine quality
measures in this years report as compared to the past
six years (2004-2009 reports).

Data found in these tables may not always match the


figures published by the original source. The Center for
Measuring University Performance makes adjustments,
when necessary, to ensure that the data reflect the activity
at a single campus rather than that of a multiple-campus
institution or state university system. When data are missing from the original source, The Center for Measuring
University Performance may substitute another figure, if
available. A full discussion of this subject, and the various
adjustments or substitutions made to the original data, is
in the Data Notes section of this report.

The prior years data or ranks may differ slightly from our
last report due to revised figures or estimates from the data
source or institution.

The Center for Measuring University Performances web


site [http://mup.asu.edu] provides these same tables in
Microsoft Excel spreadsheets for ease of analysis. In
addition to the over-$40-million group, the on-line tables
contain data on all institutions reporting any federal
research since 1990.

The Center for Measuring University Performance

The Top American Research Universities

Part III The Top 200 Institutions

The following tables list the top 200 universities and


colleges on each of the nine performance measures,
along with National Merit and Achievement Scholars.
(The Source Notes section provides detailed information
on each of the 10 data elements.) Unlike the previous
tables in Parts I and II, this section includes data for all
academic institutions regardless of their federal research
activity level.

The Center for Measuring University Performance


provides each institutions rank nationally among all
universities as well as its rank by institutional control
(i.e., rank among private or public peers). In cases where
several institutions tie for last place, we use a different
cutoff point. For National Academy members, we list all
institutions with at least one National Academy member
among their faculty. Tables in this section include:

Data found in these tables may not always match the


figures published by the original source. The Center for
Measuring University Performance makes adjustments,
when necessary, to ensure that the data reflect the activity
at a single campus rather than that of a multiple-campus
institution or state university system. When data are missing from the original source, The Center for Measuring
University Performance may substitute another figure if
available. A full discussion of this subject, and the various
adjustments or substitutions made to the original data, is
in the Data Notes section of this report.

The Center for Measuring University Performance


presents these tables, along with the prior years top 200, as
Microsoft Excel spreadsheets on-line at [http://mup.asu.edu].

Total Research Expenditures


Federal Research Expenditures
Source: NSF/SRS Survey of R&D Expenditures at
Universities and Colleges, FY 2007.

Each year, the National Science Foundation (NSF) collects


data from hundreds of academic institutions on expenditures for
research and development in science and engineering fields and
classifies them by source of funds (e.g., federal government, state
and local government, industry, etc.). These data are the primary
source of information on academic research and development
(R&D) expenditures in the United States. Included in this survey
are all activities specifically organized to produce research
outcomes that are separately budgeted and accounted for. This
organized research may be funded by an external agency or
organization (sponsored research) or by a separately budgeted
organizational unit within the institution (university research).
This report excludes activities sponsored by external agencies
that involve instruction, training (except training in research
techniques, which is considered organized research), and health
service, community service or extension service projects.

All Federally Funded Research Labs (FFRLs) are excluded


from these academic expenditures data, including the following:
Jet Propulsion Laboratory (California Institute of Technology);
Los Alamos National Lab, Lawrence Livermore Lab, Lawrence
Berkeley Lab (University of California); Software Engineering
Institute (Carnegie Mellon); Argonne National Laboratory (University of Chicago); National Astronomy and Ionospheric Center
(Cornell); Ames Laboratory (Iowa State University); Lincoln
Laboratory (MIT); Plasma Physics Lab (Princeton); and Linear
Accelerator Center (Stanford). The NSF data no longer classify
the Applied Physics Lab (APL) at Johns Hopkins as an FFRL,
but federal funds support the vast majority of research conducted
there. The APL makes up nearly one-half of Johns Hopkins
total R&D expenditures and 53 percent of its federal R&D
expenditures.

While inconsistencies in reporting (known and unknown) do


exist here, as in any survey of this type, problems arise mostly
when one breaks out the data by source of funds. NSF expects
institutions to use year-end accounting records to complete this
report, and there are nationally recognized accounting guidelines
for higher education institutions. However, there are also countless variations in institutional policy that determine whether the
university reports a particular expenditure as coming from one
source or another, or possibly not counted at all. Take federal formula funds for agriculture (e.g., Hatch-McIntire, Smith-Lever) as
an example. We conducted an informal survey of the appropriate
institutions in the Association of American Universities (AAU)
and found that two out of eleven land grants did not include
any of these federal funds in their 1997 NSF data, while others

214

The Center for Measuring University Performance

included all or some of these monies. Because these funds make


up a very small percentage of the total research expenditures in
any given year, the impact on our total research rankings is slight.
The agriculture formula funds will have a somewhat greater, but
still small, impact on the federal research rankings. NSF notes,
An increasing number of institutions have linkages with industry
and foundations via subcontracts, thus complicating the identification of funding source. In addition, institutional policy may determine whether unrestricted state support is reported as state or as
institutional funds. 1
We believe that the reporting inconsistencies in the data are
relatively minor when using the total research expenditures and
the federal research expenditures component. Federal and state
government audits of institutional accounting make deceptive
practices highly unlikely, even though these entities do not audit
the NSF data directly. NSF goes to great lengths to verify the accuracy of the data, especially federal expenditure datachecking
them against several other federal agencies that collect the same
or similar information. In fact, all major federal agencies and their
subdivisions submit data to NSF identifying research obligations
to universities each year. Historically, the NSF data have tracked
very closely the data reported by universities. 2 Further, for their
National Patterns of R&D Resources series, NSF prefers to use
the figures reported by the performers of the work (that is, academic institutions, industry, nonprofits) because they believe that
the performers are in the best position to accurately report these
expenditures.

In some sections of this report, these expenditure data are


deflated to constant 1983 dollars to show real change over time.
While NSF uses the Gross Domestic Price (GDP) implicit price
deflator in its reports on federal trends in research, we use the
Higher Education Price Index (HEPI) because of its narrower
focus. Developed by Research Associates of Washington, the
HEPI illustrates the effect of inflation on college and university
operations. 3 In contrast, the GDP implicit price deflator is based
on change in the entire U.S. economy and, as noted by NSF itself,
[its] use more accurately reflects an opportunity cost criterion
[i.e., the value of R&D in terms of the amount of other goods and
services that could have been spent with the same amount of
money], rather than a measure of cost changes of doing research. 4

Endowment Assets

Source: NACUBO Endowment Study as reported in the


Chronicle of Higher Education, endowment market value as
of June 30, 2008.

Institutions report the market value of their endowment assets


as of June 30 to three different sources, and they quite often use
three different values. For this project, we use the National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO)
Endowment Study because of NACUBOs long history of report-

The Top American Research Universities

ing endowments of higher education institutions, their emphasis


on using audited financial statements, and their focus on net assets
(i.e., includes returns on investments and excludes investment fees
and other withdrawals). NACUBO conducts its study annually
and reports the results each February in the Chronicle of Higher
Education.

Another source for endowment assets is the Council for Aid to


Educations (CAE) annual Voluntary Support of Education (VSE)
survey, cosponsored by the Council for Advancement and Support
of Education (CASE) and the National Association of Independent
Schools. The VSE survey is useful as a secondary resource because it provides more single-campus data than the other two
sources. For those institutions that report a system-wide total to
NACUBO, we often use the VSE data to calculate a campus
percentage contribution to the entire system, applying that factor
to the NACUBO figure. In other cases, we may substitute the
VSE figure when the institution indicates that this is a good data
source.
The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) Integrated
Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) Finance Survey
also collects information on endowment assets, but these figures
are often much lower than the two other sources and also are
available much later. Although IPEDS instructions say to report
endowment assets for the institution and any of its foundations or
affiliated organizations, it appears that not all institutions do so.

The fact that the NACUBO study requests net assets, while
IPEDS and the VSE survey request gross assets, cannot explain
the large differences found in some cases. In calling various institutions, we found it very difficult to determine exactly why the
numbers vary so greatly. Oftentimes, two or more individuals at
an institution independently report figures for these three reports
with no clear understanding of how or why the numbers differ.
An examination of the 1997 endowment figures provided by these
institutions showed only one university (University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill) that submitted the same figure to each
of the three organizations. We discovered no consistent pattern
to explain reporting variations among the institutions. This area
definitely warrants more study.

Annual Giving

Source: Council for Aid to Educations Voluntary Support of


Education (VSE) Survey, FY 2008.

The Council for Aid to Education (CAE), an independent subsidiary of RAND, has produced the Voluntary Support of Education (VSE) Survey since 1986. The annual giving data include all
contributions actually received during the institutions fiscal year
in the form of cash, securities, company products, and other property from alumni, non-alumni individuals, corporations, founda-

tions, religious organizations, and other groups. Not included in


the totals are public funds, earnings on investments held by the
institution, and unfulfilled pledges.

CAE's VSE Data Miner service, available on-line, provides 10


years of data for all participating institutions (more than 1,600
universities and colleges). Although this is a subscription-based
service and requires a user ID and password, limited access is
available on-line at [http://www.cae.org/vse].

National Academy Members

Source: National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of


Engineering, and Institute of Medicine membership directories
for 2008.

One of the highest honors that academic faculty can receive


is membership in the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), the
National Academy of Engineering (NAE), or the Institute of
Medicine (IOM). All three are private, nonprofit organizations
and serve as advisors to the federal government on science, technology, and medicine. Nominated and voted on by active members, newly elected members of these organizations receive life
terms. Individuals elected to membership come from all sectors
academia, industry, government, and not-for-profit agencies or
organizations. Member election dates are in February (NAE),
April (NAS), and October (IOM).
The data collected for these rankings use active or emeritus
members at their affiliated work institution, as reported in the
on-line membership directories. In all cases, we were able to
determine the specific campus for individual members. We
re-check institutional affiliation annually to account for established members who have changed employers or whose
membership is no longer active.

web-based phone directory to determine the correct campus.

Doctorates Awarded

Source: NCES IPEDS Completions Survey, doctoral degrees


awarded between July 1, 2007, and June 30, 2008.

Each year, universities report their degrees awarded to the


NCES in the IPEDS Completions Survey. IPEDS provides
straightforward instructions for reporting doctoral degrees
awarded, and we do not find any inconsistencies in reporting
among the universities included in our rankings. IPEDS asks each
institution to identify the number of Doctor of Education, Doctor
of Juridical Science, Doctor of Public Health, and Doctor of
Philosophy degrees awarded between July 1 and June 30.

Most institutions in our study submit degree data by campus or


offer doctoral degrees solely or primarily at the main campus.

In addition to doctorate degrees, TheCenter presents degrees


awarded at other levelsassociates, bachelors, masters, and
professional degreesin the Student Characteristics table.

Survey of Graduate Students and Postdoctorates in Science and
Engineering, Fall 2007.

Each year, NSF and NIH collect data from all institutions offering graduate programs in any science, engineering, or health field.
The Survey of Graduate Students and Postdoctorates in Science
and Engineering (also called the Graduate Student Survey or
GSS) reflects graduate enrollment and postdoctoral employment
at the beginning of the academic year. Postdoctorates are defined
in the GSS as individuals with science and engineering PhDs,
MDs, DDSs or DVMs and foreign degrees equivalent to U.S.
doctorates who devote their primary effort to their own research
training through research activities or study in the department
under temporary appointments carrying no academic rank. The
definition excludes clinical fellows and those in medical residency
training programs unless the primary purpose of their appointment
is for research training under a senior mentor.
In the methodological notes for this survey, 5 NSF indicates
that it verifies the data with the institutional coordinator when
dramatic year-to-year fluctuations are noted. In addition, in this
data set, it is unclear whether an institution has actually reported
zero postdocs or NSF has simply assigned a zero for non-response
(rather than imputing by using prior-year or peer data, as
described in NSF methodological notes). This year, in cases
where we suspect it is not a true zero, we left the field blank.
Although each doctorate-granting campus submits data separately, NSF often aggregates them in its published reports. In all
cases, we obtain the single-campus data for these schools directly
from NSF.

SAT Scores

Source: NCES IPEDS Survey, SAT and ACT scores for Fall 2007.
IPEDS reports the 25th and 75th percentiles for verbal and
quantitative SAT I scores for most institutions in our study. For
our measure, we calculated the median of that range. Some institutions report the ACT instead of the SAT to IPEDS and some
report both. We selected the test which has the greatest percentage of students reporting. To convert ACT scores, we use a
conversion table provided by The College Board to generate a
comparable SAT equivalent score. When an institution submits
neither an SAT nor ACT score, we substitute data from other
national data sources.

Other Measures of Undergraduate Quality

National Merit and Achievement Scholars

Source: The 2007-08 National Merit Scholarship Corporation


Annual Report, which reflects the 2008 freshman class.

The Top American Research Universities

The National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) is an


independent, nonprofit organization that awards scholarships to
the nations outstanding high school seniors based on their academic achievement, qualifying test scores, high school principal
and counselor recommendations, and their activities, interests,
and goals. The NMSC names approximately 16,000 National
Merit Finalists each February. Of these, about one-half will
receive a National Merit $2,500 Scholarship, a corporatesponsored scholarship, or a college-sponsored scholarship.

National Achievement Scholars are selected and funded in a


similar fashion and represent the nations outstanding AfricanAmerican students. Ideally, the National Hispanic Scholars Program should also be included in this category, but it does not track
the enrollment of its scholarship winners. Should it do so in the
future, we will include these students in TheCenters data. In this
study, Merit and Achievement scholarships are credited to the
main campus if the NMSC Annual Report does not indicate a
branch campus.

While the number of National Merit and National Achievement


award winners in the entering class provides an indication of the
attractiveness of a universitys undergraduate program to outstanding students, it is also an indicator that is sensitive to institutional policies on financial aid. Because the number of Merit
Scholars is small, relatively small changes in institutional aid
policies can have a significant impact on the number of National
Merit Scholars enrolling in institutions. The average SAT score
provides a broader-based and more reliable measure of overall
undergraduate quality; for those reasons, we prefer the SAT scores
to the number of National Merit and Achievement Scholars as an
indicator of undergraduate quality.

Institutional Characteristics
Medical Schools

Source: NCES IPEDS Completions Survey, MD degrees awarded


between July 1, 2007, and June 30, 2008.

Although the IPEDS Institutional Characteristics Survey does


have a medical field that indicates whether an institution grants
a medical degree, we choose not to use its data because it includes
medical degrees in Veterinary Medicine, Dentistry, and other professional health-related fields. For our measure, we determined
whether a particular campus awarded any MD degrees during the
academic year. If the institution did not submit any data to IPEDS
for that year, we then looked at whether it was accredited by the
American Medical Association to determine whether the institution has a medical school.

Land Grant Institutions

Source: National Association of State Universities and Land


Grant Colleges.

The first Morrill Act in 1862 appropriated federal funds for


universities to provide agricultural and technical education to their
citizens. A second Morrill Act in 1890 expanded eligibility to
include several historically black colleges and universities, and
in 1994 several Native American tribal colleges were recognized
as land grant institutions. Today, there is at least one land grant
institution in each state and U.S. territory and in the District of
Columbia. Of the 105 institutions, most are public universities.
Federal land grant institutions receive both federal and state
dollars in support of their agricultural and extension activities.

While land grant status technically applies to some university


systems, such as the University of California and the University
of Nebraska, for our study we designate as land grant institutions
only those schools that actually perform that function (e.g., UCBerkeley, UC-Davis, UC-Riverside, Nebraska-Lincoln). In these
cases, the land grant field will identify whether an institution is
part of a system-wide land grant and whether the vast majority
of the activity occurs on that campus. For example, UC-Davis is
coded as Yes-System while UCLA is coded as No-System.
We consider the 1890 institutions as land grant institutions, but we
identify them separately because they do not perform extension
activities.

Research Focus

NSF/SRS Survey of R&D Expenditures at Universities and


Colleges, FY 2007.

In addition to reporting expenditure data by source of funds,


NSF identifies in what major disciplines the money is expended.
In the Research by Discipline table we provide the proportion of
total and federal expenditures in each discipline for those institutions with more than $40 million in federal research. These data
are useful for developing groups of similar institutions for peer
analysis.

The Institutional Characteristics table provides a summary


measure of an institutions research strength and concentration
based on these discipline-level expenditures. Universities with
95-100% of their federal research dollars spent in one particular
discipline are coded as all. We identify institutions with 75-94%
in one area as heavy and label those with 50-74% of their
expenditures concentrated as strong. Other universities with
25-49% in one or more disciplines we describe as moderate.
A few institutions (but none in the more than $40 million group)
have expenditures distributed fairly evenly across the disciplines;
those we code as mixed.

2009 Annual Report

217

The Top American Research Universities

In some cases, where an institution reports as a multi-campus


entity, we made adjustments to break out the discipline-level
expenditure data by single campus. Typically, this involved moving all or a portion of the life sciences expenditures to the health
or medical center campus. IPEDS fall enrollment and graduate
degrees by discipline data also were used to help in this effort.

While these data offer some insight as to the research structure


of a university, their usefulness is limited. For example, we may
be tempted to use the life sciences as a surrogate for medical
research, but we must remember that they also include agricultural
and biological sciences. Further, the growing trend toward
multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary projects may make it more
difficult for universities to accurately reflect expenditures by
discipline or sub-discipline. TheCenter chooses not to break out
these sub-disciplines because the data are increasingly prone to
error as further adjustments are made.

Student Characteristics
Fall Enrollment

Source: NCES IPEDS Fall Enrollment Survey, 2007.

Each November, institutions report their current fall headcount


enrollment to the IPEDS Fall Enrollment Survey. Enrollment
figures include both degree seeking and non-degree seeking students. TheCenter provides the headcount enrollment by level as
presented by IPEDS, along with the percentage of those attending
part-time. Graduate students include those seeking specialist
degrees in engineering and education. First professional students
include those seeking degrees in medical fields, such as Chiropractic, Dentistry, Medicine, Optometry, Osteopathic Medicine,
Pharmacy, Podiatry, and Veterinary Medicine, as well as those
seeking degrees in Law and Theology.

The Center for Measuring University Performance

Each campus in our study submits enrollment data by campus,


except for the few institutions identified in our Data Notes

The Centers nine quality measures, we did not attempt to adjust
these figures.

The Top American Research Universities

Data Notes

The raw data used for The Top American Research Universities projectobtained from federal agencies and national
organizationsoften contain information on single-campus
institutions, multiple-campus institutions, and state university systems, without clearly identifying the distinctions.
This makes national comparisons difficult and unreliable.

To increase the validity and usefulness of these data,


The Center adjusts the original reported figures, when
necessary, to ensure that all data represent the strength of a
single-campus institution. The Center bases its adjustments
on information gathered from the reporting agency or from
the university itself. In cases where the published data
represent a single campus, we do not adjust the data. When
the data represent more than one campus, we first attempt
to obtain a figure directly from the National Science
Foundation (NSF) (for research expenditures and postdoctorates), from the institution itself, or from the university system office that submitted the data. If unavailable
from those primary sources, we use an estimated or substitute figure derived from information found on the institutions web site. As a last resort, we use prior-year data
as a substitute.

If the institution provides an estimate representing at least


97% of the originally published figure, we credit the full
amount to the main campus. Otherwise, we use the estimate
provided by the institution.

The Center does not adjust the private university data


because of multi-campus or system-wide reporting. We
treat all private universities in this study as single-campus
institutions because, while some may have multiple campuses, they are generally in or around a single city and considered an integral part of the main campus. Furthermore,
private institutions generally do not break out their data by
regional, branch, or affiliated campus as often happens
with public institutions.
The following tables outline the various adjustments or
substitutions that we made to the original data. The tables
list institutions alphabetically and include both private and
public universities. For the purpose of this report, we provide notes for institutions with more than $40 million in
fiscal year 2007 federal research. Data notes for all other
research universities are available on The Center web site
[http://mup.asu.edu].
