COSSA’s Social Science Rankings place UGA at #9
COSSA recently released its annual College and University Rankings for Federal Social and Behavioral Science R&D, which highlight the top university recipients of research dollars in the social and behavioral sciences. In their rankings, the University of Georgia came in ninth place, up from sixteenth place in FY2021, with over $35 million in social and behavioral science research and development.
Based on federally collected data, the COSSA rankings use an inclusive selection of fields representing the breadth of the social and behavioral sciences to calculate the total federal R&D funding received by universities in the social and behavioral sciences. The 2024 rankings reflect spending from fiscal year 2022, the most current available data. More information on how they produce their rankings is available on their website. COSSA’s website also features a rankings dashboard with an interactive map of recipients of social and behavioral science R&D funding so you can see how UGA stacks up among 533 U.S. institutions.
