Research Support

The goal for Research Support: $275 million.
The goal Achieved!: $500 million.

Research efforts at NC State unearth ways to add value to agriculture, improve public health, advance technology and engineering while enhancing the quality of life. Today, these areas have grown to include technical pursuits unimaginable a generation ago. Made possible by your visionary support, our forwarding-thinking research has paid off. 

Over the next decade, only a small number of first-tier research universities will have amassed the extensive human and capital resources necessary to sustain work on the most complex scientific and social issues facing us in the 21st century. 

NC State is one of them.  Funding from the campaign will allow us to maintain our standing as a national model for academic research as we fulfill our potential as a premier research institution.
