Article on the AAU and Nebraska

[Seaa Blue]

The article is a few years old, but I just noticed it and I don't think I've ever read anything that explains the situation so concisely.

So, I thought you guys might get something out of it since it looks like we need to get UConn in the AAU before Delany can extend the invite (I have a feeling that it will happen).

Is UConn's med school under the same governing structure?

If you mean it falls under the Herbst's leadership...yes it is.

The difference is between grant funding to run a hospital and peer reviewed grants for biomedical research.

So, the question for UConn goes well beyond simply whether UConn has a similar governing structure. In other words, the Nebraska problem is not simply a problem of how it organizes its relationship to the hospital, but more about the fact that most the research funding it receiving came in the form of non-peer reviewed agricultural grants (political pork) and also grants for the medical center that were unrelated to research. This is why when you look at Cincy or USF, the research numbers are hyperinflated by funding for the med. centers, and this is why Boston U., with much lower total research dollars, got in before any of the schools well ahead of it in the rankings.

The article presented this list which I've seen before. There are 25 AAU members above the first school listed, UAB.

So, $UConn > $Missouri.

As big as Missouri is, I would have thought that would yield the advantage to UConn. Granted, I don't know what funds are granted to each, but it doesn't smell right at first sniff. Then again, there's Dartmouth at about the same level as UConn.

UBuffalo's research budget is $400m+ so the numbers here are questionable. I know it's from 4 years ago but UB is not up 125% in 3 years.

Schools like UAB are running hospitals.

Essentially, that list does not really tell you anything.
