These are the rankings of research universities according to HERD data submitted to the NSF for research and development expenditures. Lipscomb appears on line 585. All dollar amounts are in thousands, so add three 0s to the end of the dollar numbers to get the actual dollar amount for 2023. This is the data that Carnegie uses to determine a university's research expenditures.

This sample form is the annual survey that universities submit to the NSF. The research expenditures that the university lists on this form partly determine Carnegie Classification. The form explains what is and is not considered a research expenditure.

This is the most recent data Lipscomb has submitted to NCES for the IPEDS survey.
