In spite of the pandemic and in part because of it, the University of Alabama at Birmingham extended its most successful era of research funding in fiscal 2021.

UAB received nearly $849 million in research grants and awards for the 12-month period ending Sept. 30, up from almost $638 million the previous year, according to data from its Office of Sponsored Programs. The additional $211 million, which represents an extraordinary one-year increase of 33%, includes two pandemic-related awards totaling $201 million.
