Georgia Tech's faculty attracted more than $1.4 billion in research awards this past year in fields ranging from biomedical technology to artificial intelligence, energy, sustainability, semiconductors, neuroscience, and national security.

Georgia Tech ranks among the nation's top 20 universities for research and development spending and No. 1 among institutions without a medical school.
