Everyone has to be clear that the higher the research funding of a school, the more and deeper its research, and the more and top-notch professional knowledge students will be exposed to. Now many undergraduates from top universities will participate in scientific research activities, which is also a great help for applying for graduate students in the future.

According to the National Science Foundation (National Science Foundation) data, bestcolleges reviewed the research funding of 1,871 colleges and universities in the United States, and finally determined that the eight universities spent more than $1 billion on research and development. Let's take a look.

Harvard University

Annual average R&D expenditure: US$1.01 billion, endowment fund in 2018: US$34.54 billion

Harvard University spends about US$1 billion on research and development each year, almost more than most colleges of higher education. However do grade even matter in elementary school? 

Although most university research is funded by government and private funds, and is mainly concentrated in the fields of science and engineering, Harvard University’s $34.5 billion endowment fund has greater independence and autonomy.

According to statistics, Harvard spent 9.6% of its total R&D budget in the field of social sciences in 2018, almost three times the 3.4% average share of all universities. Most of Harvard University's social science research and development work is in the field of political science and is funded by the university's internal funds.
