Abstract

This study utilizes a correlational research design to identify the relationship, if any, between institutional and external support of research and development (R&D) at an R1 University Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education R1: Very High Research Activity Doctoral University in the southeastern United States of America. Initial analyses of institutional and external R&D expenditures as reported in the National Science Foundation (NSF) Higher Education Research and Development (HERD) Survey from 2015 through 2020 did not identify any relationships between institutionally and externally funded R&D expenditures. Additionally, initial regressions were directionally split with positive correlations in 14 fields and subfields and negative correlations in 16 fields and subfields.
