Montana State University had a record $112.3 million in research expenditures for the fiscal year ending June 30. Almost $10 million more than last year and $2.8 million more than the previous record set two years ago, the record reflects the university’s continued strength in biomedical sciences, energy, and the environment, administrators said. “MSU faculty have proven once again that they are players in a national arena,” said MSU President Waded Cruzado. “Not only do they conduct significant research, but they win federal funding to carry out their work even when the field is crowded and the competition intense.”
