For the first time in UAB history, we have surpassed $500 million in research grants and awards for a 12-month period (Nov. 1, 2017, through Oct. 31, 2018), reaching $527,025,137.

Our university and community have celebrated several milestones over the past few months, including UAB’s highest-ever research expenditures of $562 million and being named the Top Young University in the U.S. (and 10th globally) by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings.
