The UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy has once again secured the second spot among the nation’s pharmacy schools in total research funding, toping $39 million, according to data compiled by the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy.
The School had 91 funded investigators who received $39,000,650 in awards from all funding sources in fiscal year 2019 — a 5 percent increase from fiscal year 2018. Of those awards, more than $30 million was secured in National Institutes of Health awards by 60 investigators.
“I am so proud of the dedication of our researchers to improve human health worldwide,” said Angela Kashuba, dean of the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy. “Each day, we are committed to pursuing bold research ideas that will lead to new treatments and better discoveries for our patients. Together, we are advancing medicine for life.”
The School has seen an increase in research funding year-over-year since 2014.
AACP’s faculty research grant institutional rankings provide aggregated pharmacy grant data by institution for NIH and other federal, nonfederal and total research grants. The data reflects only those schools for which information is submitted to AACP.
