And Others Behavioral Sciences Biological Sciences Comparative Analysis Data Analysis Engineering Evaluation Financial Support Graduate Study Grants Higher Education Humanities Mathematics National Surveys Physical Sciences Research Projects Researchers School Surveys Social Sciences State Universities Tables (Data) During fall 1974, the University of Maryland at College Park evaluated its research programs as part of the decennial accreditation process. Data were collected on a comparison group of 35 state universities in order to place the Maryland activities in a national context. Most of the data presented in this report extend over a 10-year period, 1965 to l974. During this period, federal support for scientific research reached a peak and then declined; all the universities had an opportunity to expand their research programs. Four kinds of indicators for scientific research were used: National Science Foundation grants, publications in frequently-cited journals (in mathematics, physics, and chemistry), prestige of graduate programs, and members of advisory panels that review applications for research grants. For social sciences and humanities, other fellowships and grants awarded were also included. General information is given for the 35 universities on number of doctoral degrees granted, faculty compensation and state support, library resources, prestige of graduate programs, and total federal funding. The highest ranking universities are then cited for each of these areas: mathematics, physical sciences, an engineering; life sciences; and behavioral and social sciences, and humanities. (LBH) |
