Impact on Research

Although North Dakota State University, as a top 100 research university, receives significant federal research funding, private gifts and grants remain the primary source of support for faculty pursuing innovative work that is too novel for government funding or as initial support for new research ventures that evolve into significant future initiatives.

We are proud of these enterprising faculty and the impact that private gift support has on their work. Here are just three examples of the many ways that contributions are impacting new discoveries each day on the campus of NDSU.
