According to the National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO), the value of the endowment of the Indiana University and affiliated foundations in 2016 is over $1.986 billion.[18] The annual budget across all campuses totals over $3 Billion.[19]
The Indiana University Research and Technology Corporation (IURTC) is a not-for-profit agency that assists IU faculty and researchers in realizing the commercial potential of their discoveries. Since 1997, university clients have been responsible for more than 1,800 inventions, nearly 500 patents, and 38 start-up companies.[20]
In fiscal year 2016, the IURTC was issued 53 U.S. patents and 112 global patents.[19]
Both of the core campuses of the IU systems sponsor NCAA Division I athletic programs. The Indiana Hoosiers represent the flagship institution in Bloomington, and are founding members of the Big Ten Conference, where they compete in 24 different sports. The IUPUI Jaguars field 18 different sports, and have competed in the Horizon League since 2017; upon IUPUI's split into two universities in 2024, administration of the Jaguar's athletics programs will remain under IU Indianapolis.
