Overview

UC, classified as a university with "very high research activity" by the Carnegie Commission and ranked by the National Science Foundation as one of America’s top  public universities for federal research expenditures, saw its research enterprise rise to more than $378 million in 2009.

UC Academic Health Center and its affiliates were responsible for bringing in $278.5 million (74 percent) of the research dollar total.

The UC College of Medicine ranks 19^th among public medical schools and 42^nd among all medical schools for National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding.

 
In 2009, the UC Academic Health Center was named the 39th recipient of an institutional Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA). This National Institutes of Health Funding, in the amount of $23 million, will help UC to bring innovations from the laboratory bench to the bedside and to applications within the community.
  

UC added another premier research facility to its Academic Health Center campus in 2008 with the opening of the CARE/Crawley Building. This facility boasts nine stories of lab, administrative, library and recreational spaces.
