Research funding at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg campus was over $20 million for the 2019-2020 academic year. That is a significant increase over the 2018-2019 funding of $7.2 million. These funds come from institutions including the National Science Foundation, National Archives, National Institutes of Health and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The latest issue of Innovations Magazine describes the research projects and other innovations on campus. Stories include:
