* From 2000‐01 to 2007‐08, the number of grant/contract awards is based on the accounting transactions from the College's award index, rather than the actual number of awards received by the college.

Before 2005‐06, awards affiliated with both a campus department and OSU Extension Service were reported under the department's college. Starting in 2005‐06 these were considered part of Extension Service and are not reported in the department's college.

College of Agricultural Sciences award metrics include Agriculture Experiment Station (AES)
