UCSF ranks #1 in chemical research and development funding
By UCSF School of Pharmacy Editorial Staff / Thu Dec 8, 2005
For the 2nd consecutive year, UCSF topped all United States universities and colleges in both total and federally financed spending for chemistry research and development. These results reflect data for 2003 from the National Science Foundation. These are the most recent statistics available as of August 2005. “The ranking reflects directly the caliber of UCSF's chemistry research, which is led by faculty members in the UCSF School of Pharmacy's Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry,” says Thomas James, PhD, department chair.
