Return on Investment

During the 2008 fiscal year, OVCRED centers and institutes generated $6.57 in external funds for every $1 invested by the state.
The university must have state dollars to sustain our research centers and institutes because external funding will not pay for basic infrastructure.
External grants and contracts accounted for more than 86 percent of the total budget of all OVCRED centers and institutes combined.
During the 2008 fiscal year, OVCRED centers and institutes attracted more than $123 million in external funding. When combined with the $60 million in funding brought in by UNC’s Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, research centers and institutes account for more than a quarter of UNC-Chapel Hill’s external funding, which totalled $678 million in FY 2008.
