Texas Tech Continues Tradition of Legislative Success

With more support from the state, the future is bright for Texas Tech University and the TTU System.

“Over the past five years, federal awards to Texas Tech have increased by 78%, and last year we exceeded $200 million in total research expenditures for the first time in our history,” said Vice President for Research and Innovation Joseph Heppert.

Since 2001, state funding to enhance research activities at Texas Tech has included the Research Development Fund (RDF), the Competitive Knowledge Fund, the National Research University Fund (NRUF), the Texas Research Incentive Program (TRIP) and the Core Research Support Fund (CRSF). 

“Texas Tech University's future is bright as a leading research institution, and we look forward to the establishment of the Texas University Fund to provide financial support in perpetuity to further grow research expenditures and scientific doctoral programs at our system's flagship institution,” said Tedd L. Mitchell, M.D., chancellor of the TTU System.
