| The
University of California, Berkeley
is one of the world's leading universities in research, teaching,
and public service, with an enrollment of over 23,000 undergraduates
and 8,800 graduate students. The campus employs 1,500 faculty in more
than 130 academic departments and interdepartmental groups, and more
than 40 interdisciplinary research units contribute to this dynamic
and vital research and teaching environment.
Each
year UC Berkeley receives substantial contract and grant support
for research, education, and public service projects from federal
and state agencies, foreign governments, foundations and other nonprofit
organizations, industry sponsors, and other private sources. In
fiscal year 2002, the campus received 1,459 awards that totaled
over $443 million.
Award
information is captured in two ways; by project periods (the total
amount of the award) and by budget periods (the amounts of the individual
budget periods). Budget period funding data is captured for all
years of an award, which includes future years. In fiscal year 2002,
the campus received $426.9 million in funding by budget period funding,
slightly lower than project period funding of $443.3 million.
