The data is broken out for 20 subject areas, and separately for research universities, doctoral institutions, BA and community colleges.

Specialized survey data you won’t find anywhere else

The Survey of Research-Oriented Faculty, Tracking Grant Success Analysis Practices features in-depth commentary and scores of data points in over 70 easy-to-scan charts and tables displaying critical data you can’t find in any other publication. You’ll find data on:
