Research Appropriations

Research Appropriations

Definition

Research Appropriations are provided through the Texas Legislature as a source to advance research at the eight emerging research universities in Texas. [Fund code 2110]

Decision

Research Appropriations are distributed proportionally to colleges/school using the average of the previous two fiscal years of external research expenditures.

Impact

This method accords with the distribution of appropriations from the State. From there the funds flow to the administrative/support units that support those colleges/school.
