University of Michigan's significant research expenditures ($749 million in 2003) provide the capacity to use research to investigate challenges and solve problems. We have recruited great faculty and research scientists, and invested in the labs and spaces they need to succeed. A recent report from ISI (Institute for Scientific Information) placed the U-M as a top-ranked U.S. university in terms of "research impact" measured by the number of citations in research papers.
