Texas A&M ranks first in Texas and 10th nationally among public institutions based on annual research expenditures -- nearly $1 billion! Thanks and gig 'em to all the Texas A&M Science researchers, laboratories, programs and principal investigators who help make such progress possible, not only for Texas A&M University but also for society as a whole -- whoop!

Texas A&M University is one of the 238 universities and systems that compose the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU), which has announced a massive new effort to increase college access, close the achievement gap and award hundreds of thousands more degrees by 2025.

Research conducted at Texas A&M represented annual expenditures of more than $892.7 million in fiscal year 2016, ranking Texas A&M in the top 20 overall and No. 9 among public universities within the National Science Foundation's most recent Higher Education Research and Development survey.

Texas A&M climbed to No. 17 in the National Science Foundation Higher Education Research and Development (HERD) Survey and remains the state's only university among the survey's top 20. Congrats and keep up the groundbreaking work, Ags -- whoop!

Texas A&M President Michael K. Young recently announced a new $4 billion comprehensive campaign, Lead by Example, that will cement Texas A&M as a world leader in solving great global challenges.

Hats off to Texas A&M, the only university in the State of Texas listed among the National Science Foundation's top 20 research universities -- news that everyone wanted to write about, from central campus communications units to state and local media outlets.
