Dublin, July 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Survey of STEM Faculty in Higher Education, Experience with Sponsored Research" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Data in the report is broken out by many institutional and personal variables, enabling the study's end users to pinpoint use of and evaluation of sponsored research and its institutional stewardship by gender, ethnicity, academic field, level of lifetime grant receipts and other variables of the survey participants. Data is based on a survey of 240 faculty, drawn predominantly from research universities and medical schools.
Just a few of this 94-page report's many findings are that:
- Only 3.13% of sponsored research projects worked on by survey respondents involved multiple sponsors.
- More than 12% of survey respondents over the age of 60 found alumni or industry boards to be useful or critically important in their efforts to obtain and work on sponsored research projects.
- Respondents in earth and environmental sciences were the most likely to view their institution's efforts to procure sponsored research projects as effective.
