The External Funding Recognition Reception returned this year for an in-person event to recognize the efforts of NSU faculty, staff and students who have received external grant funding in the previous fiscal year. Fiscal Year 2022 had exceptional activity in the area of external funding, with total cumulative active awards of about $141 million, of which $62 million supported research. This event recognized the extraordinary efforts of all faculty who contributed to this accomplishment and encourages the continued pursuit of all external funding.
