Useful Stats:2003 Academic R&D for Life Sciences, By State
In 2003, academic institutions across the U.S. reported having a total of $23.76 billion in R&D expenditures for research related to the life sciences, according to the National Science Foundation's Survey of Research and Development Expenditures at Universities and Colleges, FY 2003.
The $23.76 billion figure represents 59.3 percent of the total academic R&D expenditures. Among individual states, however, the prominence of life science research among total academic R&D portfolios varies from a high of 89.6 percent in Vermont to only 18.3 percent in Alaska. Only 20 states had life sciences concentrations higher than the national average.
SSTI has prepared a table presenting state rankings and figures for academic R&D for life-science related research. The table is available at: http://www.ssti.org/Digest/Tables/092605t.htm
