Reports and Stats

The University of Oregon’s research expenditures increased by $9 million in fiscal year 2024-25 (FY25) to $125 million. However, sponsored project funding, which supports scholarship and creative activity across the university, decreased to $153 million in new awards from $202 million in FY24—a reflection of the dramatic shift in federal priorities related to research, as well as delays in proposal reviews and award cancellations.

We offer an interactive dashboard with insights into externally sponsored projects—proposals, awards, and expenditures—to users with a Duck ID. Please reach out to researchanalytics@uoregon.edu for more information.
