Delivering research and innovation today for a more secure tomorrow

Tap into the power of one of the fastest growing research enterprises in the United States

ASU has a history of rapidly growing its research capacity, leading to innovative solutions like shoebox-sized spacecraft that orbit the moon and exoskeletons that give U.S. Air Force aerial porters superlifting capabilities. In fact, during the past two decades, ASU has increased the scale and scope of its research activity universitywide nearly six times over. ASU receives funding for research from federal agencies, state and local grants, businesses and other private organizations, which is often awarded over multiyear periods. Research expenditures — the amount of this funding an institution spends in a particular year — provide the most effective way to measure and compare research enterprises.

ASU’s Department of Defense-related expenditures have increased 69% over the last five years.
