Description:
|
“The Association of American Universities (AAU),also known as the “global models,” comprises public and private leading research universities. The AAU members enjoy the prominent position in global university ranking. Although they represent less than 2% of the total institutions in American higher education, they receive over 60% of federal funds for research, hosts 716,223 institutions researchers, and have an 82% graduation rate of undergraduate and graduate students (Association of American Universities, n.d). Like most organizations, the health of institutions of higher learning depends on the performance of their workers .Research universities only houses research production, but faculty members design the research studies, conduct laboratory experiments or analysis and disseminate the findings. The project will focus on how faculty research productivity relate to their rank, discipline, and supervision of graduate students, and to what degree does the relationship varies by institutions. As a team, we will also examine the relationship between research productivity and membership to national academies and to what degree does the relationship vary by institutions.The project will use data from various sources such as Integrated Postsecondary Education Database, Google scholar, National academies of engineering ,Sciences, Medicine, and Education”
