Grants for research and scholarly activity and some programs primarily come from federal agencies. Research at the University of Idaho has generated nearly $100 million in funding each year since 2003, and has recently received a $10-million grant from the National Institutes of Health. The vision of the University is to grow its research enterprise and increase its competitive research funding from the current $100 million annually to $150 million by 2020.
