Federal Funds for Research and Development: Fiscal Years 1973-2003. Federal Obligations for Research to Universities and Colleges by Agency and Detailed Field of Science and Engineering. Detailed Statistical Tables

摘要

Data in these tables were derived from the National Science Foundation's (NSF's) annual surveys of Federal Funds for Research and Development and cover fiscal years 1973-2003. They reflect research funding levels as reported by six of the Federal agencies in the survey series. All agencies that were identified as conducting R&D programs were surveyed, but only six agencies are required to report research funding to universities and colleges. These agencies are shown in the list of tables. In the survey cycle for fiscal years 1973-75, data were first collected on Federal research support to universities and colleges by field of science. Beginning with the survey cycle for fiscal years 1974-76, data were reported for Federal basic research support to universities and colleges by field of science and for Federal applied research support to universities and colleges by field of science.
