On Thursday, Feb. 13, the Carnegie Foundation \u2014 the organization that regularly classifies universities into tiers of research activity \u2014 informed UND officials that the University has satisfied all requirements for designation as a Carnegie \u201cR1\u201d institution, placing the University into a grouping of the most highly regarded research universities in the nation.<\/p>\n

Institutions that are classified as Carnegie R1 have \u201cvery high research activity.\u201d This denotes that the institution has annual research expenditures exceeding $50 million and awards at least 70 research doctorates each year. UND exceeds both of these standards significantly.<\/p>\n

Thursday\u2019s news is a precursor to an official announcement that will be made in late April, when the Carnegie Foundation and the American Council on Education publish their 2025 Institutional Classification. This will mark the first time that UND has been included in the classification as a Carnegie R1 institution.<\/p>\n

In receiving the Carnegie R1 designation, UND joins a peer group of 187 universities, according to the Carnegie Foundation\u2019s 2025 report. Included in the R1 category are world-renowned institutions such as Harvard, Yale and Stanford, as well as ones based in the Upper Midwest, such as the universities of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Nebraska.<\/p>\n

UND\u00a0President Andy Armacost<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0said this designation is a recognition of a yearslong effort to expand research opportunities across campus in a variety of fields.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to receive the coveted Carnegie R1 designation,\u201d Armacost said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis recognition highlights UND\u2019s exceptional commitment to research and discovery. It serves as a testament to the momentum we have generated through the hard work of so many faculty, students, and staff members and through our exceptional growth in research funding,\u00a0<\/strong>including that supported by North Dakota\u2019s elected leaders.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur world-class scholars at the University of North Dakota are making a difference across so many fields of study, and today\u2019s announcement is a fitting milestone that recognizes their achievements.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scott Snyder<\/strong><\/a>, vice president of\u00a0Research & Economic Development<\/strong><\/a>, cited UND\u2019s growing research profile, with expenditures of $182 million in fiscal year 2023 \u2014 an increase of more than $70 million from the preceding three years \u2014 as a major factor in achieving the R1 designation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a very exciting recognition of the amazing work done by researchers across UND, and it groups UND among the top research universities in the nation,\u201d Snyder said. \u201cThe dramatic increase in external funding for research and our impressive doctoral programs account for this recognition. We continue to celebrate all sorts of discovery and the creation of new art, ideas and knowledge across our campus.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe R1 designation will allow UND to be even more competitive for educational and funding opportunities of all kinds.\u201d<\/p>\n

Provost Eric Link<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0added that the Carnegie R1 designation is more than just a feather in the University\u2019s cap \u2014 it will spur scholarship that serves the state as a whole.<\/p>\n

\u201cReceiving the R1 classification from Carnegie is a testament to the great work going on at the University of North Dakota,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs rewarding as the recognition itself is, what it speaks to is not UND\u2019s past, but our future.\u00a0It underscores UND\u2019s commitment to fostering innovation, addressing critical health and social issues that impact North Dakotans, and driving prosperity for the people and communities across the state and region.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
