These individuals reached $1 million in total cumulative external funding during the 2022 fiscal year. They join a club of more than 154 employees who have obtained $1 million or more in external funding for research and other sponsored programs. (See a full list at: research.illinoisstate.edu/about/awards-recognition/million-club).
During the past decade, Illinois State University has received nearly $250 million in external grant funding. First given in the early 1990s, the Million Dollar Club honor was reinstituted in 2009.
The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (RSP) offers a number of services and tools to help faculty/staff members identify and secure external grant funding. That funding, which supports a wide array of research, teaching, and service initiatives, is an important factor that enables faculty/staff members to carry out their projects. To learn more about the services and tools that RSP offers, visit research.illinoisstate.edu or contact RSP via email at ResearchOffice@ilstu.edu or by phone at 309-438-2528.
