Various Benchmarks

• R&D Expenditures vis-a-via Benchmarks The comparison ranking is 2004 when OSU Fed R&D expenditures jumped from 10th to 7th -- a ranking it has maintained, altho Texas is gaining on us. The total R&D expenditures include private funds (ours, states, industry, whatever) and is hard to track and surely counts funds that get transferred to other universities.
• Graduate Students and Postdocs in science, engineering and health sciences for benchmark institutions In 2005, our benchmark ranks for gs and postdocs was 8th and 9th, respecitively, rising to 6th and 7th in 2009.
• Historical STEM PhDs
• Various indicators for benchmark institutions (fac outside tenure sys; fac diversity, state approp., area of topo-10 faculty productivity, license income, fulbright Awards/Appns.)
