The report is geared to allow easy reference across 30 science and engineering statistics, the distribution of federal R&D obligations by department and performer, and industrial and academic R&D expenditures. Additionally, it includes figures for population, per capita income, labor force, patents, small business innovation research awards, and gross state product.
SSTI has prepared the accompanying table presenting for comparison the number of patents issued to state residents in 2000, the average number of patents issued per member of the state’s civilian workforce, the average number of patents per doctoral scientists and doctoral engineers in the state, and the R&D dollars spent in the state per patent issued.
