This pocket guide presents data on research and development (R&D) funding, human resources, and international science and technology (S&T) indicators. Among the R&D funding data provided are: national R&D funding by source and performer; federal R&D obligations by agency and character of work; industrial expenditures by sources of funds and…

Summarizes a National Science Foundation study of patterns in government research and development (R and D) funding for the fiscal years 1978-1980. Defense received a smaller percentage of the R and D funding while energy, biomedical research, and basic research received a larger percentage of said funding. (Author/DS)

This report presents an overview of research and development (R&D) in science and engineering (S&E) fields performed at institutions of higher education in the United States, including historical trends and recent patterns. The report first examines the financing and performance of R&D at universities based on patterns in funding and…

This six-chapter report is designed to provide a background against which the U.S. Congress can evaluate specific policy initiatives in the innovation area. Chapter I, an introduction, considers the potential for increased innovation and the government role, focusing on R&D investments and private-sector incentives. Chapter II discusses the links…

This document examines the policy issue of balance between the National Institute of Education's (NIE) role in directing research and development projects and that of field-initiated efforts in the educational R/D & I field. The issue is approached from a systems analysis view: NIE's mission (grouped into research, development,…

This report summarizes federal research and development (R&D) funding estimates for 1976 and the requested funding for 1977. R&D obligations are expected to rise to $21.6 billion in 1976, 5.7% of the total budget; $23.5 billion is requested for 1977, 6.0% of the total budget. Tabulated data presents funding obligations by agency, character…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of critical resource flows on technology transfer activity. The investigation focused on the impact on a university's licensing orientation of four sources of research and development (R&D) revenues: federal, state, industry, and institutional. By licensing orientation is meant the…

Developments in federal funding to individual colleges and universities are presented. Information included is: (1) Federal R&D funding principally accounted for the 15% increase in total Federal obligations to universities and colleges in 1978; (2) A sharp rise of 15% occurred as the National Institutes of Health (NIH) increased its R&D…

Purpose: This article provided a comprehensive overview of the available peer-reviewed and grey literature on the current status of historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and small African American-owned technology firms participation in the federal assistive technology research and development (AT-R&D) enterprise. Method:…

Discusses Research and Development (R&D) funding trends from industry and the federal government. A real increase for the third consecutive year is forecast for 1978, if inflation stays below 7.9 percent. (SL)

This report examines R&D performed by U.S. higher education institutions. It discusses funding by source and S&E field for R&D activities and equipment and provides information on research space. It benchmarks the United States against other nations, and it looks at how academic R&D investments relate to investments in education…

This report is the 30th in a series that covers research and development (R&D) as shown in successive Presidential budgets. The Federal budget for 1982 was unusual in the extent to which it was subjected to change, reflecting the new administration's philosophy to reduce Federal spending. R&D funding data reflect the first series of 1981…

Data in the tables of this publication were derived from the Survey of Federal Funds for Research and Development, Volume 44, for Fiscal Years 1994-96. They reflect research and development (R&D) funding levels reported by 32 Federal agencies from February through November 1995. R&D totals in the tables are given in both outlays and obligations.…

Too many earlier attempts to use R&D investment for 'levelling up' have started with big ambitions but not survived long enough to deliver economic benefit. The purpose of regional R&D investment needs greater clarity. This report unpicks assumptions about the spread of research funding across the UK and finds them wanting. Comparable…

Investing in research, which drives industrial development and innovation, is essential to ensuring America's economic prosperity, national security, and leadership in a global economy. Although U.S. commitment to research and development (R&D) has traditionally been strong and sustained, federal funding of R&D as a share of U.S. gross domestic…
