funding sources and support research and instruction/public service.
F&A costs are included. During FY10-FY15 a 22% increase was realized.
Ten-Year look back: In FY06 31% of Total Sponsored Programs ($23.3M)
was classified as Research. In FY15 80% of the $39M is classified
as Research.
The total sponsored programs expenditures have increased 70% over the
ten year period, but research expenditures have increased 524%.

Facilities and Administrative costs are necessary to support research
and other sponsored programs, but which cannot be readily assigned to
individual projects. The institution has the ability to charge the sponsor
for these expenses. The annual increase in recovered F&A is 26% and
the effective F&A rate during FY10-15 was 9-12%.
Ten-Year look back: In FY06 recovered F&A was $2.2M (9.5% effective rate).

Research Strategic Plan Update
Two milestones were identified in the Research Strategic plan as key
benchmarks to measure progress towards NRUF-eligibility:
1. Membership in Council on Government Relations (COGR) is an
association of research universities involved in the development of all
major financial and administrative aspects of federally-funded
research. Requirement for membership is $15M in Federal Research
Funding based on NSF Survey. In FY15 Texas State had $18.7M and
FY15 NSF Survey is being finalized. Letter to COGR requesting
membership has been sent. (Ten years ago, Federal Research
expenditures were $1.87 M).
2. Carnegie Classification was upgraded from Masters, Large
to Doctoral Research, Higher Activity.
