R2R1

TXST has already surpassed one of the three key metrics required to achieve R1, research expenditures. Research expenditures in FY2022 exceeded $110 million, which is comparable to other Carnegie R1 institutions in the country.

Ph.D.'s More Support for Graduate Fellowships is Needed

Progress in the other two metrics (increasing Ph.D. graduates and post-docs) requires immediate action to stay on target for the 2027 graduation deadlines.
