According to the National Association of College and University Business Officers, Rockefeller University is one of the most fiscally stable universities in the United States. The university’s endowments totaled $1.7 billion in 2011, and research disciplines included biochemistry, structural biology, molecular cell and developmental biology, immunology, virology and microbiology, medical sciences and human genetics, and neuroscience. Rockefeller University scientists also won recently $3 million in the form of a life science research prize.
Given the research funding statistics provided by the NIH, NSF and National Association of College and University Business Officers, it’s clear that Rockefeller University is a well-funded market with a lot of potential for laboratory equipment sales.
