Useful Stats: Federal Funds for R&D for Fiscal Years 2000-2002
The National Science Foundation has released a new set of statistical tables that show research and development (R&D) funding levels, reported by 31 federal agencies for the last three fiscal years.
Federal Funds for Research and Development: Fiscal Years 2000, 2001, and 2002 offers R&D totals in terms of both outlays and obligations. The R&D obligation data are categorized according to character of work (basic research, applied research, and development), performer, field of science or engineering (for research but not for development), and federal R&D funding by state. The report also shows obligations for research performance at colleges and universities by fields of science or engineering, and additional data is given for R&D plant.
SSTI has prepared a table comparing FY 2000 state rankings for federal obligations for R&D and R&D plant. The rankings reveal that California, Maryland, Virginia, Massachusetts and New York, respectively, had the most in total federal obligations.
