Notes:
- Data were obtained through a survey of publicly-funded colleges and from financial statements.
- College size categories are based on Fiscal 2017 total college income: Large = more than $100 million; Medium = $50 million to $100 million; Small = less than $50 million.
- Apparent ties due to rounding.
* Research partnerships and completed research projects with external organizations governed by formal written agreements
** Students that were involved in applied research projects that were paid for their work
+ Research income from industry sources in the form of grants or contracts; excludes in-kind contributions/donations
