Abstrakt: Academic research productivity has traditionally been measured via publication counts and citations. These measures have been used to evaluate both individuals and academic departments. An additional measure of research productivity has been emerging in recent years: research grant acquisition. The present analysis explores this method of evaluating research productivity. We consider the number of grants individuals have been awarded, the types of granting agencies, and the total amount of grant dollars individuals have received. Additionally, we explore these measures at the aggregated level of criminal justice departments. We find that grant acquisition is a unique, useful way to measure research productivity, that is related to traditional publication count approaches for both individuals and departments.
