This means that UNH is attracting some of the best people in the world. Naturally, when this is the case, we also have some of the best ideas flowing out of here. In terms of which schools get the biggest bucks for research, Sundberg said that UNH wouldn't even make it in the top 100. UNH should not be discounted for the research they do, though. Sundberg emphasized that although big money may look the best in a report, there is much more to research than dollar bills.

According to Sundberg, it often depends on what type of research it is. Sundberg, himself a researcher and expert in the field of chemical polymers, explained why the science departments get most of the grant money.
