It's More Than Research
At LSU, Louisiana's flagship institution, the research we perform is not only our duty, it's what drives us. From cancer and diabetes to coastal sustainability, energy, and agriculture, we improve the lives of our neighbors and loved ones every day. As a top research university, in the past year alone, LSU achieved $488 million in research activity across its eight campuses to advance Louisiana and the world. This achievement generated $1.3 billion in economic impact for Louisiana.
For more than 60,000 years, the standing tree stumps of the Alabama Underwater Forest--now 60 feet below the surface in the Gulf of Mexico--have remained intact, protected by the biogeochemical processes of the swamps and marshes they originally grew in.
Statewide achievement in research across all campuses added $1.3 billion in economic impact for Louisiana. Increased federal research funding demonstrates enduring success of LSU's Scholarship First Agenda.
LSU jumped to No. 56 among universities granted U.S. utility patents in the National Academy of Inventors' 2023 Top 100 ranking. According to the National Center for Educational Statistics, there are more than 2,500 undergraduate degree-granting institutions in the nation. The National Academy of Inventors ranks the top 100 among them using the number of patents received by their faculty in a single year.
