Useful Stats: Federal Investment in Academic Science & Engineering
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has released Federal Science and Engineering Support to Universities, Colleges, and Nonprofit Institutions: Fiscal Year 1999 (NSF 01-323). The data presented in the 33 tables cover all categories of direct federal science and engineering (S&E) support to institutions of higher education in the United States. The 18 agencies listed in these tables provide virtually all of the Federal funding for S&E research and development (R&D) at U.S. universities and colleges. Data also are reported on these agencies' obligations to nonprofit institutions.
In FY 1999, the 18 agencies reported obligations to 1,088 universities and colleges, 35 academic system offices, and 1,038 independent nonprofit institutions.
Statistical tables presenting the information by state include:
- B-3 Federal obligations for science and engineering to universities and colleges, by geographic division and State: fiscal years 1992-99
- B-5 Federal obligations for science and engineering research and development to universities and colleges, by geographic division and State: fiscal years 1992-99
- B-8 Federal obligations for science and engineering (S&E) to universities and colleges and the number of recipient institutions, by State and type of activity: fiscal year 1999
- B-9 Federal obligations for science and engineering to universities and colleges, by geographic division, State, and agency: fiscal year 1999
- B-10 Federal obligations for fellowships, traineeships, and training grants to universities and colleges, by geographic division, State, and agency: fiscal year 1999
- B-15 Federal obligations for science and engineering (S&E) to universities and colleges, by State, institution, and type of activity: fiscal year 1999
- B-16 Federal obligations for science and engineering to universities and colleges, by State, institution, and agency: fiscal year 1999
- B-17 Federal obligations for science and engineering research and development (R&D) to universities and colleges, by State, institution, and agency: fiscal year 1999
- B-18 Federal obligations for R&D plant to universities and colleges, by State, institution, and agency: fiscal year 1999
Using the information included in Table B-5, SSTI has prepared the accompanying table presenting the rankings by state for the percentage growth in federal R&D obligations between 1992 and 1999.
