Dear Faculty and Staff:
I am writing to congratulate you for helping the University reach a remarkable milestone. This week, the University is announcing that for the first time, total annual funding for sponsored research exceeded $1 billion. These results are for the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2007, and they include funding for research from the federal government and from private sources like foundations and corporations. Funding from the federal government comprises nearly 80 percent of this total. As you may know, the University of Washington has been the top recipient of federal funds among public universities every year since 1974. It has been in the top five for both public and private universities every year since 1969, and in recent years has been second only to Johns Hopkins.
Yet even with this incredible track record, this year marks the first time our total funding for research has topped a billion dollars.
This is an extraordinary accomplishment at any time, but especially now when federal funding is flat. It is due, of course, to all of you who participate in the University's research enterprise and who work so hard to garner funding for sponsored research. It is, in my view, the single most telling fact about the quality of the people who work here.
Competing so successfully at this level is truly an amazing feat, and I want to thank the many thousands of you who play a role and participate in our research for helping us reach this milestone.
Congratulations to everyone. You should all take great pride in being a part of this exceptional record of success.
Sincerely,
Mark A. Emmert President

a streetcar plan
― jergins, Saturday, 12 January 2008 19:30 (sixteen years ago) link
i don't understand this (from carless in seattle blog).
"Excess demand for roadways during peak hours is the real problem, to which congestion is the most feasible solution."
― lxy, Saturday, 12 January 2008 21:04 (sixteen years ago) link
i guess they're trying to say that the options for congestion are to build more roadways, increase mass transit options, or let people sit. considering the stupidty of the first and the cost of the second, this person is, i guess, arguing that letting people sit in traffic is the best option.
