History

The 1994 edition of the Carnegie Classification defined Research I universities as those that: * Offer a full range of baccalaureate programs * Are committed to graduate education through the doctorate * Give high priority to research * Award 50 or more doctoral degrees each year * Receive annually $40 million or more in federal support The Carnegie Foundation reported that 59 institutions met these criteria in 1994. In their interim 2000 edition of the classification, the Carnegie Foundation renamed the category to ''Doctoral/research universities-extensive'' in order to avoid the inference that the categories signify quality differences." The foundation replaced their single classification system with a multiple classification system in their 2005 comprehensive overhaul of the classification framework so that the term "Research I university" was no longer valid, though many universities continued to use it. In 2015, the Carnegie Classification System reinstated the "Research I university" designations along with "Research II" and "Research III." The current system, introduced in 2018, includes the following three categories for doctoral universities: * R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity * R2: Doctoral Universities – High research activity * D/PU: Doctoral/Professional Universities In the 2018 classification, institutions were classified as either R1 or R2 if they "conferred at least 20 research/scholarship doctorates in 2016-17 and reported at least $5 million in total research expenditures." A "research activity index" was then calculated that included the following measures: * Research & development (R&D) expenditures in science and engineering (S&E) * R&D expenditures in non-S&E fields * S&E research staff (postdoctoral appointees and other non-faculty research staff with doctorates) * Doctoral conferrals in humanities, social science, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields, and in other fields (e.g., business, education, public policy, social work) These four measures were combined using
principal component analysis Principal component analysis (PCA) is a popular technique for analyzing large datasets containing a high number of dimensions/features per observation, increasing the interpretability of data while preserving the maximum amount of information, and ...
to create two indices of research activity, one representing an aggregate level of research activity and the other representing per-capita research activity. Institutions that were high on both indices were classified among "R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity."

to determine both measurements. In other words, these institutions provide a lot of resources for research and have a lot of people conducting research at their respective institution. These two classifications can be seen as the aggregate supply and demand for research, respectively. Most states have an R1 level university. Alaska, Idaho, South Dakota, Vermont and Wyoming do not.

Universities classified as "Special Focus - Research Institutions"

There are 23 institutions that are classified as "Special Focus - Research Institutions" in the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education as of the 2021 update. This new category has the same threshold for inclusion as R1 and R2 schools do (At least twenty research doctorates awarded and five million dollars in research expenditures), but unlike R1 and R2 schools, they only award degrees in a single academic area. {{Cite web, url=http://carnegieclassifications.iu.edu/lookup/srp.php?clq=%7B%22basic2005_ids%22%3A%2227%22%7D&start_page=standard.php&backurl=standard.php&limit=0,50, title=Carnegie Classifications | Standard Listings, access-date=2022-01-12, archive-date=2022-01-12, archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220112060730/https://carnegieclassifications.iu.edu/lookup/srp.php?clq=%7B%22basic2005_ids%22:%2227%22%7D&start_page=standard.php&backurl=standard.php&limit=0,50, url-status=live {, class="wikitable sortable" , +Special Focus - Research Institutions !Institution !Control !City !State , - ,
