High Mark – University of Montana Research Sets Another Record With 14% Jump

Research expenditures at UM hit an all-time record of $143.8 million during the past fiscal year – a jump of 14% over the previous year. Scott Whittenburg, UM vice president for research and creative scholarship, said the University’s research expenditures stood at $55 million in 2014. Under his leadership during the past decade, that figure has jumped 161%.
Whittenburg also helped crack the code that enabled UM to become a top-tier “R1” research institution in 2022. Only about 3.7% of degree-granting colleges in the U.S. earn this elite designation from the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. He contends graduating to R1 was more of a puzzle for UM, which doesn’t have an engineering or medical school and isn’t a land-grant university pulling in agriculture research dollars.
So how did it happen?
