Research income refers to the money a university receives to support its research activities: fellowships awarded to researchers, research grants, and contracts awarded by private companies or government or non-profit organizations.
When a university sees its research revenue increase, it can be seen as a sign of trust from funding agencies, who see the institution as a strong ally in innovation and solving social problems.
