The National Science Foundation has released two statistical reports that present several science and engineering statistics by state: 

Federal Science & Engineering Support to Universities, Colleges, and Nonprofit Institutions for Fiscal Year 1998 Detailed Statistical Tables 

The April 2000 report presents 39 tables characterizing federal science and engineering (S&E) obligations to colleges, universities, federally funded research and development centers, consortia, and independent nonprofit institutions. Several present the data by state, including: 1991-1998 federal obligations for S&E, 1991-1998 federal obligations for S&E research and development, 1998 S&E obligations by type of activity, and 1998 S&E obligations by federal agency. Many others present the information for the 100 universities and colleges receiving the largest amount of federal funding. Perhaps, most useful are four tables (B-15-18) that present 1998 S&E and S&E research and development obligations by state and by university or college. The report can be downloaded from: http://www.nsf.gov/cgi-bin/getpub?nsf00315 

State Science and Engineering Profiles and R&D Patterns: 1997-98 (Early Release Tables) 

The tables, which present one-page summary statistical profiles of each state, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, are one section of the upcoming report from the Division of Science Resource Studies, State Science and Engineering Profiles and R&D Patterns: 1997-98. The individual state profiles provide rankings, state and US figures for easy reference across 30 statistics as well as the distribution of federal R&D obligations by department and performer.
