Michigan’s University Research Corridor (URC) institutions – Wayne State University, Michigan State University, University of Michigan - continue to competitively rank among the top research innovation clusters in the nation in producing the high-tech, high-demand talent required for the 21st century, according to a recent URC report. In 2011, the URC had the fourth largest research and development expenditures of the seven university clusters at nearly $1.9 billion. Between 2009 and 2010, the URC increased total expenditures on research and development by 8.3 percent, which is the third highest percentage increase of the university clusters in the midst of a difficult state economy. This growth rate was higher than the average increase among all U.S. universities. Wayne State University President Allan Gilmour said the report highlights that the three universities are on the right path. “Our URC institutions have a lot to be proud of. Our combined research and economic impact continue to help Michigan move in the right direction. We must continue to work and innovate for the long term success of our state.”
