Its endowment and annual research expenditures are among the largest of any American university. In FY 2006 the National Science Foundation reported that the university received $434 million in Federal research funds, ranking sixth among private universities receiving federal research and development support, and in the top four in funding from the National Institutes of Health.
Washington University is made up of seven graduate and undergraduate schools that encompass a broad range of academic fields. Officially incorporated as "The Washington University", popular nicknames for the university include "Wash. U." and "WUSTL", all derived from the initials of the university's name.
