<p>Middlebury - $ 8,000,000</p>

<p>You can see the effect of this lopsided access to basic science funding in the number of articles published by the faculty of the two schools and the number of times a faculty member’s work is cited in others in their field. It’s a difference of two-to-one:</p>
<p>Wesleyan - H-Index - 55</p>
<p>Middlebury - H-Index - 28</p>
