Abstract/ Summary

The State of Maine’s investment in the Maine Economic Improvement Fund (MEIF) is a vital and ongoing commitment to advancing the research enterprise at Maine’s public universities to improve the civic and economic life of Maine. At the start of 2022, the flagship University of Maine earned an R1 Carnegie Classification, joining the ranks of the nation’s top 146 doctoral research universities engaged in “very high research activity.” The R1 designation is the world standard for research universities, and this recognition is a direct result of more than 20 years of consistent MEIF and other investment that has supported the growth of UMaine’s research capacity. The entire University of Maine System and the State of Maine as a whole are indebted to the foresight of the Maine Legislature for its commitment to this investment, which pays dividends back to Maine many times over.
