Brown isn’t even a top‑50 federal research recipient. They’re pulling in $254M a year while the big dogs are pulling billions. So yeah — as far as I’m concerned, my tax dollars are being wasted on a private Ivy that isn’t even in the top tier. Every Ivy League school outranks Brown in federal research funding. Brown is basically the bargain‑bin Ivy when it comes to taxpayer money — yet it still pulls $254M a year.           

  Top Tier (Billions)

1. Johns Hopkins — $3.4B
2. University of Washington — $1.6B
3. University of Michigan — $1.1B
4. UC San Diego — $1.1B
5. Stanford — ~$1.0B

Upper Tier (Hundreds of Millions)

1. Harvard — ~$900M
2. Duke — ~$700M
3. Yale — ~$600M
4. Columbia — ~$600M–$700M
5. UPenn — ~$600M
6. UCLA
7. UC San Francisco
8. University of Pittsburgh
9. University of Wisconsin–Madison
10. University of North Carolina
11. University of Minnesota
12. Cornell — ~$400M–$500M
13. Texas A&M
14. Ohio State
15. Georgia Tech
16. MIT — ~$800M
17. University of Arizona
18. University of Colorado Boulder
19. Penn State
20. University of Florida
21. University of Maryland
22. University of Illinois Urbana‑Champaign
23. Washington University in St. Louis
24. Emory University
25. Vanderbilt University

Mid‑Tier (Still Ahead of Brown)

1. Princeton — ~$200M–$250M
2. Dartmouth — ~$200M
3. University of Iowa
4. University of Utah
5. Indiana University
6. University of Virginia
7. University of Chicago
8. Carnegie Mellon
9. University of Southern California
10. Northwestern University
11. Rutgers
12. Virginia Tech
13. University of Kansas
14. University of Kentucky
15. University of Nebraska
16. University of Tennessee
17. University of Alabama Birmingham
18. Oregon State
19. Colorado State
20. University of South Florida

…and dozens more, all above Brown’s $254M mark.📌 Bottom LineBrown is nowhere near the top. It sits around rank 70–80, meaning 70+ universities receive more federal research money than Brown every year.

If Brown pulls in 254 million, is that more or less than Princeton?

But you can't define "woman"

I can....I also understand that it is not a scientific label.

Princeton’s number looks low because their giant federal money — the plasma physics lab — is counted separately. They blow Brown out of the water. Brown’s $254M is still bottom‑tier Ivy.

Brown is the lowest‑funded Ivy in federal research dollars — 8th out of 8. Every other Ivy outranks them.

Many have not heard about Brown, never mind knowing is is an Ivy League school.  Also, some of the family of the founders of brown were involved in slave trading.

Specific Slave Trading: Members of the family directly financed and outfitted slave voyages. Most notably, Nicholas Brown Sr. and John Brown invested in and directed slave-trading ships, such as the Sally in 1764. The 1764 voyage of the Sally resulted in disaster and massive loss of life for the enslaved Africans aboard, a tragedy that has been extensively documented by the university. John Brown remained an active and vocal defender of the trade for decades
