Abstract : The objective of this paper is to explain and enumerate why we need to replicate the success of the American research ecosystem everywhere, and to explain why doing so could lead to quantum advancements in science everywhere, particularly in the developing world. We begin this paper by reviewing the history of education systems worldwide, and then proceed to define vital terms such as a university and a research university. We also briefly trace the history of the American university, and briefly probe and investigate the American university system, the American research ecosystem, and American research funding models. We also briefly discuss research, the different types of research, and the different types of research funding models worldwide. As a part of this exercise, the different types of research grants including research fellowships are probed and investigated. Other aspects such as research scholarships, corporate funded and corporate sponsored research, industry academia collaboration, research outsourcing, research contracts, and research as a service are also reviewed. A large number of recommendations are also proposed as a part of this paper, and these would as such constitute the core essence and meat of this paper. We do therefore, hope, expect and anticipate that this paper would become a vital one in our overall globalization of science mission and objectives.
