NSF releases updated data on higher education R&D

摘要

The National Science Foundation's National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics has published updated data for FY 2014 from its Higher Education Research and Development (HERD) Survey. An accompanying InfoBrief reports that federal funding for higher education R&D declined by 5.1 % between FY 2013 and FY 2014 and has fallen over 11 % since its peak in FY 2011 -the longest multiyear decline in federal funding for academic R&D since the beginning of the annual HERD survey in FY 1972.
