At this year’s External Funding and Provost Awards recognition event, 177 NSU principal investigators and co-principal investigators from 14 colleges and seven units were recognized for their external funding achievements during FY 2024. Additionally, Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Chenail announced six recipients of this year’s Provost’s Research and Scholarship Awards.
The event was held on Wednesday, Nov. 13, at the Alan B. Levan | NSU Broward Center of Innovation in the Alvin Sherman Library. It was hosted by Chenail; Kenneth Dawson-Scully, NSU senior vice president for research and economic development; and Gary S. Margules, NSU’s vice president for research.
The External Funding and Provost Awards recognition is an annual event that honors the achievements of NSU faculty and staff who secured external grant funding in the previous fiscal year. Fiscal Year 2024 saw remarkable success in external funding, with total active awards reaching about $167 million, of which $71 million supported research initiatives and about 53 percent of the total being funded directly through federal government funds.
For three fiscal years in a row, the Halmos College of Arts and Sciences and the Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine have had the two highest percentages of the total active external funding. These impressive achievements are celebrated, thanks to the outstanding contributions of our faculty members who helped achieve this milestone and served to inspire continued efforts in pursuing external funding opportunities.
