University run by the Seventh-day Adventist

Loma Linda University (LLU) is a Seventh-day Adventist health sciences university in Loma Linda, California. As of 2019 the university comprises eight schools[1] and the Faculty of Graduate Studies offer more than 100 degree and certificate and programs. LLU also offers distance education. It is a part of the Seventh-day Adventist education system.[2][3][4][5] The university is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). Its on-campus church has around 7,000 members. Loma Linda Academy, a Seventh-day Adventist K–12 school, is located nearby.

Grants and funding

The University applies for and receives grants from various organizations. Some of the research grants include:

  • California Walnut Commission[6] for walnut research
  • Pfizer Public Health & Government Group[7] for public health television and Internet programming
  • NSF Partnership for Innovation Grant[8] in partnership with the Larta Institute

Federal government support

The special relationship between Loma Linda University and Representative Jerry Lewis, (Republican – San Bernardino), first came to light in a Pulitzer Award-winning expose written by Jerry Kammer.[9] Lewis has lent significant help in funding important school operations.

From 1998–2003, Loma Linda has received $167.2 million in federal funds, the number one academic recipient in the country receiving nearly $60 million more than the runner up, the University of South Florida.[10] In 2000, it was the single largest recipient of higher education grants at $36 million.

Several grants were from the Department of Defense, plus $5 million from NASA for space radiation research. Critics point out that the brother of Lewis is employed by Loma Linda University.[11] In 2008, Loma Linda University received nearly $9.5 million of which $5 million came from the Department of Defense.[12]
