If you go to the NSF website
https://ncsesdata.nsf.gov/profiles/site?...ce&ds=herd you will see the closest rough numbers to what AAU uses TODAY. Their metrics evolved over 2009-10-11-12 in part due to the Nebraska problem. AAU does not go by all Research and Development, but this gives you one rough ranking. They are closer to the Government money rankings, but to get what AAU actually uses of that you have to know how much Agriculture programs have been discounted. Put simply if you are not competing against the entire pool for the money, that money is discounted. The land grants are disadvantaged that way, but the disadvantage can be cured with Medical and Vet School - moreso the Med School. Then you have take those numbers and look at them against the Graduate school numbers to get a "punching weight" so to speak. Graduate programs outside the hard sciences don't really count for squat.
School - Current Government Rank 16 - 2007 Government Rank - Spread over time - Current All Dollars Research (Includes Private Money) -
UAB - 36 -32 - a drop of 4 spots over a decade -42 Major Research Hospital
GT - 55 - 48 - a drop of 7 spots over a decade -25 Huge Major Private Research Investment
Miami - 56 - 57 - a rise of 1 over a decade -62 Major Research Hospital
NCSU - 58 - 74 - a rise of 16 over a decade -47 Major Research Vet Center
ASU - 61 - 72 - a rise of 11 over a decade -44 No Hospital
VT - 66-82 - a rise of 16 over a decade -43 Built A Hospital With Private Entity Last Decade
Kansas - 79 - 69 - a drop of 10 over a decade -79 Has Medical Center, but is sliding down the list
Cincy - 92 - 61 - a drop of 31 over a decade -52 Has Medical Center, Government Money Is Sliding - Private Very Strong
Mizzou - 93- 78 - a drop of 15 over a decade -89 Has Medical and Vet School and still a huge drop
Neb - 104 - 111 - a drop of 7 over a decade -80 You see the AAU's problem with Nebraska when you see these numbers together
Clemson - 140 - 107 - a rise of 33 over a decade -109 Perhaps the most impressive rise of a university over the last decade in the US
Syracuse - 197 - 176 - a rise of 21 over a decade -158 Has not been hard science research university in decades.
These are the closest discernable metrics you will see. To handicapped on a per professor per grad student basis, you would need to dig into actual enrollments. That's for someone's master's thesis.
As far as raw grad students go you get:
@ 12,000 ASU
@11,000 GT/Cincy
@9,400 NCSU
@9,000 Kansas
@7,500 UAB
@7,200 Syracuse/VT
@7,000 Mizzou
@6,000 Miami
@5,000 Nebraska/Clemson
But as you can see when you have the hard science numbers above, Syracuse for example is minting a lot of graduate students in the social sciences, otherwise their federal dollar flow would be much higher.
Of course this does not go into the other factors such as faculty awards. etc., etc.
The data in the Nebraska response is very, very old.
