Useful Stats: States' Shares of 2001 Federal R&D, by Agency
California, with a 13.4 percent share of the U.S. total, led the nation in receiving federal obligations for science and engineering (S&E) to colleges and universities in FY 2001, according to a new National Science Foundation (NSF) report. More than $22 billion was provided to all institutions in FY 2001, with the Department of Health and Human Services leading the way at almost $13 billion and NSF second at $3.3 billion.
SSTI has prepared two state-by-state tables offering a breakdown of the above data found in NSF's report, Survey of Federal Science and Engineering Support to Universities, Colleges, and Nonprofit Institutions. The first table <http://www.ssti.org/Digest/Tables/082903t.htm> presents the percent of each agency’s total obligations by state and the state's share of the total federal obligations. The second table <http://www.ssti.org/Digest/Tables/082903t2.htm> presents the percent each federal agency represents of each state’s total R&D. The actual dollar amounts from which both tables are developed are contained in Table B-9 of the NSF report.
The data presented in these tables cover all categories of direct federal support for S&E activities to institutions of higher education in the U.S. The agencies listed in these tables provide nearly all of the federal funding for S&E research and development at U.S. colleges and universities.
Ten federal agencies are listed in SSTI’s tables. The category "Other" encompasses eight agencies: the Departments of Housing and Urban Development, Labor, and Transportation; the Agency for International Development; the Appalachian Regional Commission; the Nuclear Regulatory Commission; the Office of Justice Programs; and the Social Security Administration.

Last week, NSF also published online Federal Funds for Research and Development, Detailed Historical Tables: Fiscal Years 1951-2002, which includes several tables presenting the geographic distribution of federal R&D funding for the period 1970-2000. The report is available at: http://www.nsf.gov/pubsys/ods/getpub.cfm?nsf03325
