The American Council on Education and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching announced 187 institutions, including NSU, as Research 1 universities on Feb. 13. Being an R1 institution means that the university spends at least $50 million on research and development and awards at least 70 research doctorates in a year.
Before the announcement, Princeton University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College and Harvard University were already R1 institutions. This year, Florida Atlantic University was also announced as R1. There are eight R1 institutions in Florida, including University of Miami and University of Florida.
NSU President Dr. Harry K. Moon wrote a memorandum to the university sharing his excitement about the R1 announcement on Feb. 13.
“Being an R1 university will lead to attracting top talent, increasing research funding, driving economic development, enhancing the value of an NSU diploma, and supporting the communities where we operate,” Moon wrote.
The Division of Research and Economic Development will hold a town hall event on Zoom, where it will explain what being an R1 means for students, on April 14 at noon.
