Data

in the tables of this publication were derived from the Survey of Federal Funds for Research and Development and cover fiscal years 1999-2001. They reflect R&D levels as reported by 30 Federal agencies in February through November 2000. All agencies that were identified as conducting R&D programs were surveyed.

R&D totals in these tables are given in both outlays and obligations. The R&D obligation data are further categorized according to character of work (basic research, applied research, and development), performer, field of science or engineering (for research but not for development), and Federal R&D funding by State. Obligations for research performance at universities and colleges by fields of science or engineering are also shown, as are R&D plant data.
