IU, IU Health contribute $11.5 billion to state economy
IU and IU Health generated a combined economic impact of at least $11.5 billion for the state of Indiana and sustained 100,000 jobs during the 2010-11 fiscal year, according to the results of an economic impact study released Feb. 16 at a press conference by IU President Michael McRobbie and IU Health CEO Dan Evans.
The study examines direct and indirect spending in Indiana as a result of IU and IU Health. The university and the health care system generated $5.9 billion in direct economic activity and $5.6 billion in indirect or induced economic activity. Of the total $11.5 billion, $4.9 billion was generated by the university, with $6.6 billion being generated by IU Health. IU generated $2.3 billion in direct economic activity and $2.6 billion in indirect or induced activity, while IU Health generated $3.6 billion in direct economic impact and another $3 billion in indirect or induced spending.
Separately, IU Health is the state's fourth largest employer with nearly 27,000 direct employees in fiscal 2010-11, while IU was the state's fifth largest employer with more than 21,000 direct workers.
The report also notes that IU received $488 million in research and grants during fiscal year 2010-11, with $196 million coming from the NIH and $48 million from the National Science Foundation.
IU's research expenditures for the same period were a record $509 million, with nearly half of the spending going for medicine-related research.
