Congrats to Northern Arizona University on receiving R1 research activity designation from the Carnegie Foundation, which is the highest classification for United States research institutions.
The designation reflects NAU’s efforts to produce knowledge, processes and technology that are pivotal in solving the world’s problems and preparing students to enter the constantly shifting workforce, according to a NAU press release. The criteria for R1 status are spending at least $50 million annually on research and development and awarding at least 70 research doctorates each year.
