For the second consecutive year, the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span><\/a> has set a record in extramural funding at $515.9 million for fiscal year 2023 (FY<\/abbr>2023), $10.9 million more over the previous record of $505 million set in FY<\/abbr>2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n

UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa<\/a>, the flagship campus of UH<\/abbr>\u2019s 10 campus system, led the extramural award amounts this year with $342.7 million. The UH<\/abbr> System brought in $117.7 million, UH<\/abbr> Community Colleges<\/a> totaled $33.7 million, UH<\/abbr> Hilo<\/a> received $17.8 million and UH<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span><\/a> totaled $4 million.<\/p>\n

“We are extremely proud of our back-to-back record hauls in extramural funding, despite having to deal with a myriad of challenges due to the recent pandemic and its lingering after-effects on the world economy and our funders,” said UH<\/abbr> Vice President for Research and Innovation Vassilis L. Syrmos. “The accolades must be given to our faculty, staff and graduate students for their hard work and dedication to the UH<\/abbr> research enterprise and to the state of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>.”<\/p>\n

Extramural funding is external investments from governmental agencies such as the federal government, industry and non-profit organizations that support research and training activities conducted by university faculty and staff. Extramural projects support research and innovation that help to increase knowledge and provide solutions to improve quality of life.<\/p>\n

“Every dollar invested by one of our extramural sponsors is a vote of confidence that UH<\/abbr> faculty, staff and students are creating a better future for Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> and the world,” said UH<\/abbr> President David Lassner. “This includes everything from climate change, resilience, water quality and energy solutions to addressing health disparities, educational inequities, feeding our population, and training Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>‘s people for the jobs of today and tomorrow.”<\/p>\n
