Joining the AAU is a tremendous milestone as it formalizes 欧美三级片's position as a leading research university.

Achieving that lofty goal enhances funding opportunities for 欧美三级片. Member universities receive the majority of competitively awarded federal funding for research. According to the AAU, faculty at their member universities perform basic research ($28.8 billion).
