UAH's role in Huntsville's economy

Copied from User talk:Fnlayson to make sure you see it.

Jeff:

I'm not a prolific user of Wikipedia, so I hope this message makes it through. You asked the question about my postings under Alabama seeking a citation that The University of Alabama in Huntsville is among the key components of Huntsville's high-technology economy. I cannot say that I can cite a single source that makes that claim. Rather, I offer the following facts that would lend me to provide that perspective.

• UAHuntsville has the largest research expenditures in the nation (more than $65M) for a university its size ( ~ 7,500 students) when compared to all public universities. Much of it in partnership with industry, NASA, the U.S. Army and other Department of Defense agencies. • UAHuntsville ranks second to Georgia Tech in annual research expenditures as a percentage of total expenditures when compared to the 31 universities in the Southern University Group. • UAHuntsville is consistently ranked among the top universities in the nation in NASA-sponsored research. • Four UAHuntsville research disciplines rank in the top 50 in the nation in federal research funding, according to the National Science Foundation.

Hope this helps.

This has been a while ago. I know UAH is an important part. But is UAH comparable to Redstone Aresonal, Cummings Research Park and MSFC? That's the way the wording was changed as I recall. The place for discussing this should be at Talk:Huntsville, Alabama (or possible Talk:Alabama). If you want to discuss further please do so there. -Fnlayson (talk) 12:54, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
