“Academic Units” definition: Research and Courses
Teams of faculty, students, and researchers throughout our six colleges, 11 interdisciplinary research institutes, the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI), and hundreds of research labs and centers are pushing the boundaries of science and technology every day. More than half of Georgia Tech’s research is done in GTRI, Georgia Tech’s applied research organization. GTRI has grown to more than 2,400 employees supporting eight laboratories in over 20 locations around the country, and performs more than $600 million of problem-solving research annually for government and industry. In addition to GTRI, schools, research labs and centers, Georgia Tech’s interdisciplinary research institutes, bring together research to address specific challenges. With staff knowledgeable about broad research areas, these institutes provide single points of contact for organizations conducting research at Georgia Tech.
As it relates to the STARS report, Georgia Tech’s research units include the “academic units” (those that teach courses) used for the courses inventory as well as the expansive research centers, IRIs, and GTRI units that conduct research. These centers do not perform instruction, only research, yet provide an academic research function. To include the vast research portfolio of the research units, Georgia Tech is expanding the total departments related to research. Otherwise, including the research conducted by the “academic units” consistent with courses (IPEDS-based instructional units) leaves out the majority of the research conducted at Georgia Tech.
