(See attached Press Release that will go out later today) <br/> <br/>Total extramural funding increased from $193M in FY07 to $202M for FY08. <br/>NIH funding increased from $93M in FY07 to $101M in FY08. <br/> <br/>This is a significant and remarkable achievement! <br/> <br/>I believe that the sustained increase in NIH funding over the last three years is particularly noteworthy as it occurs in the face of a flat or declining federal budget for research and is a real solid indicator of the quality of our programs. <br/> <br/>We will recognize these achievements this fall with a big "100-200" <br/>campus-wide celebration and you will hear more about this soon. <br/> <br/>These achievements reflect the sustained effort of so many different <br/>components of our operation from the talented faculty to fellows to <br/>students, MUSC leadership, state support (i.e. Research Infrastructure <br/>Act, CoEE program), increasing program connectivity across the region and the many dedicated people in our research support units and the colleges. <br/> <br/>This is a tremendous accomplishment and it is a great pleasure for me to <br/>have a chance to be associated with such a superb program. <br/> <br/>Stephen M.
