2010 research initiative at the U.

The state of South Dakota's commitment to research and university-driven economic development initiatives continues to grow through Governor Round's 2010 Research Initiative.  In the past two years, the South Dakota State Legislature has appropriated $5.3 million to support four 2010 Research Centers and three new Ph.D. programs.  The U was awarded two of the four research centers and collaborates on a third; two of the new Ph.D. programs will be implemented at the U.  The state is helping to reinforce an already strong research environment, allowing the U to continue its rapid growth in research activities and more fully integrating research into undergraduate and graduate education.
