First, the BAD NEWS:

23 public PUIs (11 U; 12 CC) – 1,500 to 17,000 students • 11 sponsored programs offices (7 U; 4 CC) • 10 are centralized, (3 have 1 FTE; 7 have 2 FTE) • pre-award services + some post-award • 1 decentralized model - 1 FTE/each of 5 colleges • 12 independent colleges & universities – 2 offices
Oklahoma Research $ - 2006 $447,000,000 for 2006 • PUIs – 15% Fed $ • PUIs – 69% students
