Useful Stats: NSF Releases 2000-01 State S&E Profiles

July 25, 2003

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has published online the Science & Engineering State Profiles: 2000-2001, a set of 52 science and engineering (S&E) profiles summarizing state-specific data on personnel and finances. Rankings and totals are given for the 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, and the report includes a data source page. (For Puerto Rico, the data sources for some variables differ from those used to obtain state data; comparable data do not exist on total and industry R&D performance for Puerto Rico.)

The NSF databases used include doctoral scientists and engineers; S&E doctorates awarded, including by major S&E fields; S&E graduate students and postdoctorates; federal R&D obligations by agency and performer; total and industrial R&D expenditures; and academic R&D expenditures, including by major S&E fields.

Data from non-NSF sources include population, civilian labor force, per capita personal income, federal expenditures, public higher education expenditures, patents, small business innovation research awards, and gross state product originating in sectors such as manufacturing, agriculture, trade, government and services.

Three Microsoft Excel tables summarizing the entire report also are available on the website below.
