TAMUCC Research Space Productivity Study March 6, 2015 3
Executive Summary
Annual direct sponsored projects expenditures have increased at 5% compound annual growth rate over the last 7 years,
from $10.9 million to $15.4 million. Federal Sponsors have been the largest source of funding for the past 7 years. For
Fiscal Year 2014, 65.6% of total funding sources came from federal sponsors.
During Fiscal Year 2014, the College of Science and Engineering accounted for 31% Sponsored Project Expenditures
and 53% of research space, while the Harte Research Institute represented 29% of expenditures and 21% of research
space. Following the Harte Research Institute, the Conrad Blucher Institute had 17% of total Sponsored Projects
Expenditures and 9% of assignable research space. All other colleges and departments accounted for 23% of Sponsored
Projects Expenditures and 17% of research space.
The number of Tenured/Tenure-Track Principal Investigators that had Sponsored Projects Expenditures for FY 2014 was
led by the College of Science & Engineering with 17 PIs (52%), followed by 7 PIs from Harte Research Institute (21%) and
5 PIs from the College of Liberal Arts (15%). All other colleges and departments combined accounted for 12% (4 PIs) of
Sponsored Projects Expenditures. The Harte Research Institute had the highest average of Sponsored Projects
Expenditures per PI at $364 thousand and also leads among Colleges and Centers with 1,369 average Square Footage
per PI.

Executive Summary
Among Principal Investigators, Dr. Dulal Kar leads the ranking of Top 10 Tenured/Tenure-Track Principal Investigators
with higher Sponsored Project Expenditures per Square Footage in Fiscal Year 2014. Dr. Kar had an average of $4
thousand in annual project expenditures per square foot, while Dr. Suzzette Chopin followed with $2.7 thousand. Dr.
Fereshteh Billiot presented $1.2 thousand of Sponsored Project Expenditures per Square Footage followed by Dr. Scott
King with $668 thousand and Dr. David Bridges $609 thousand. Dr. James Gibeaut from Harte Research Institute
presented the highest total Sponsored Project Expenditures, presenting $1.7 million and Dr. Gary Jeffress from the
Conrad Blucher Institute followed with total Sponsored Project Expenditures of $1.4 million. Dr. Gerardo Moreno
presented $1.1 million of Sponsored Project Expenditures. Three Principal Investigators presented Sponsored Project
Expenditures greater than $500 thousand but less than $1 million. Twenty-nine PIs had Sponsored Project Expenditures
greater than $100 thousand but less than $500 thousand and 45 PIs presented research expenditures less than $100
thousand for Fiscal Year 2014.
The average Sponsored Projects Expenditures per Square Footage for all Units during Fiscal Year 2014 was $161 while
the average for Colleges and Centers was $132. The Conrad Blucher Institute had the highest Sponsored Projects
Expenditures per Square Footage with $309 followed by Harte Research Institute with $228. The College of Science and
Engineering presented $93 Sponsored Project Expenditures per Square footage. The College of Education, College of
Nursing and Health Sciences, College of Liberal Arts and College of Science and Engineering presented Sponsored
Projects Expenditures per Square Footage below the total average for Colleges and Centers.

Research Space is short of supply and it has become critically important to effectively manage it in our research effort. The
Division of Research, Commercialization and Outreach developed this annual report as an ongoing effort to generate data
required for decision-making and planning. The report considers the following sources of information:
TAMUCC Research Space Productivity Study March 6, 2015 6
Methodology
•Request space information by PIs to Colleges, Centers and VPs.
•Review consistency of information
•Determine Study Assumptions
Data Gathering
•Obtain Facilities Inventory Report
•Retrieve Sponsored Projects Expenditures from FAMIS Accounting System
•Analyze correlation of information
Data Analysis •Merge data
•Review for consistency
•Present results
Report Development
TAMUCC Research Space Productivity Study March 6, 2015 7
Assumptions
1. The Report considers Sponsored Projects Research Expenditures retrieved from FAMIS Accounting System for
Fiscal Years 2012, 2013 and 2014.
2. All Principal Investigators’ Sponsored Project Expenditures and space assignation is included in all the analyses
except for Funding Ratio analysis, where Deans, Associate Deans, Directors and Associate Directors are not
considered.
3. Square footage information was obtained using the “TAMUCC Facilities Inventory” report published annually by
the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB). This report includes the total space assigned to
research and sponsored programs for all Texas universities. The report breaks down by Building and Room
number.
a. Information for room divisions not considered under the “Facilities Inventory” report were requested to
Facilities Services Department and the individual departments.
4. The research space considered for the study only includes space within the University Main Campus.
a. Research space is defined by THECB as “space which is used primarily for experimentation, investigation
or training research methods, professional research and observation.”
5. Research Space is categorized by Room Type Code. The study is limited to the following types:
a. 250-Research/Non-Class Laboratory
b. 310-Offices
TAMUCC Research Space Productivity Study March 6, 2015 8
Assumptions
5. Colleges and Centers submitted the space assignation by Principal Investigator and Department.
a. When a research space is shared among multiple researchers, an estimation of percentage usage
by Principal Investigator was requested to departments.
b. If a research space had academic and research use, an estimated percentage of the research
portion is assigned to the Principal Investigator.
6. Researchers with only office space are assigned 100% of the space, unless otherwise specified.
7. Research space used by Undergraduate Assistants, Graduate Assistants and Post-Docs are assigned to
the Principal Investigator who is the primary mentor and/or funding the position.
8. Abbreviations used on the report:
