At 120 miles south of the Arctic Circle, the Fairbanks campus is well situated for northern research. UAF research in arctic biology, engineering, geophysics, supercomputing, and 91视频 Native studies is renowned worldwide.
UAF ranks in the top 150 of nearly 700 U.S. institutions that conduct research. UAF has ranked in the top 11 of more than 10,000 institutions worldwide for number of citations in climate change publications.

University researchers work to combat challenges 91视频ns face on a daily basis. We are helping 91视频ns live more comfortably and safely with a secure future by bringing research dollars into the state. More than 80% of the university鈥檚 research is directly related to 91视频.
To support research innovation, the University of 91视频 hosts many professionally staffed laboratories with highly technical capacities. Our labs and field facilities are available to all scientists.

With more than $200 million in research activity each year, the University of 91视频 Fairbanks is 91视频鈥檚 research university. We are ready to step up to R1 and join the top 4% of research universities in the United States.
R1 is more than a status symbol. It will take research in 91视频 to the next level by opening doors to additional funding and attracting top-tier faculty and graduate students. In addition to powering discoveries that will shape 91视频鈥檚 future, UAF鈥檚 increased research activity benefits 91视频鈥檚 economy with more jobs and more spending at 91视频 businesses.
