<p>You may find the following study of interest, as it attempts to determine the Top American Research Universities by their rank on nine different measures: Total Research, Federal Research, Endowment Assets, Annual Giving, National Academy Members, Faculty Awards, Doctorates Granted, Postdoctoral Appointees, and SAT scores.</p>

<p>If comparing UF to FSU, you should use the lower number for UF, 232,737 ($000, as this excludes standalone medical and Other Specialized Institutions) and not the 592,082 figure.</p>

<p>The report also has the other Florida schools, such as UCF and USF.</p>

<p>Comparison’s between “preeminent” universities can be very subjective. Instead of comparing the two universities, you can use the report to determine how the 9 factors have changed over time, or what % of research $ is assigned by “Major Discipline”. For example on page 48, we see that FSU allocates 27.6% to the physical sciences, while only allocating 1.5% to math.</p>
