Institutional support of sponsored research has grown at twice the rate of inflation for over 60 years and is an overlooked cause of high tuition.  The annual expense of unsponsored research is many thousands of dollars per student and may be an even larger contributor to rising costs.

This National Science Foundation website https://ncsesdata.nsf.gov/profiles/site  can be used to look up information regarding funding sources for university research.  On the left side click on "Search by institution name.”  Once the institution comes up, click on it and then scroll down to Data Tables.  Under R&D expenditures select “By source of funds and R&D field.”
