Illinois is one of the most active states for research and development in the nation, ranking eighth in overall R&D, academic R&D and business R&D.

Additionally, Illinois is the sixth largest producer of science, health, and engineering academic articles nationally. Academic research funding yields a high rate of return in Illinois, with the state producing more academic articles per $1 million in funding, compared with the national average.

What This Means As one of the leading counties in Illinois for research and development, Champaign should strive to continue to invoke inspiration and support innovation and the beginnings of new ventures.
