Critical Needs for Research in Veterinary Science

Appendix G
Research Expenditures for 27 Colleges of Veterinary Medicine

2002-2003 research expenditures for 27 colleges of veterinary medicine by quartiles and source. Quartile amounts are derived from research expenditures from each source. Faculty full-time equivalent (FTE) is average number of FTE faculty members in each quartile for each funding source.
