The University of Maryland

With over $400 million in sponsored research funding last year, Maryland is one of the premier research universities in the U.S.

With the University’s close proximity to Washington, D.C., and nearby federal research agencies like the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. in Beltsville, we are able to readily interact with government researchers and the policy-makers who guide many research initiatives. Private funding is also important to our research programs, with many large corporations using our expertise to design and build better products for consumers as well as industry.
