Survey of Federal Science and Engineering Support to Universities, Colleges, and Nonprofit Institutions

The Federal Science and Engineering Support Survey is a congressionally mandated survey and the only source of comprehensive data on federal science and engineering (S&E) funding to individual academic and nonprofit institutions.

Survey of State Government Research and Development

The Survey of State Government R&D provides comprehensive, uniform statistics regarding the extent of R&D activity performed and funded by departments and agencies in each of the nation's 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.

Higher Education Research and Development

Higher Education Research and Development (HERD) Survey

The HERD Survey is the primary source of information on R&D expenditures at U.S. colleges and universities that expended at least $150,000 in separately accounted for R&D in the fiscal year.

Survey of Science and Engineering Research Facilities

The Survey of Science and Engineering Research Facilities is a congressionally mandated, biennial survey that collects data on the amount, construction, repair, renovation, and funding of research facilities at U.S. colleges and universities.

Research and Development

Annual Business Survey (ABS)

The ABS is the primary source of information on R&D among for-profit businesses operating in the United States with one to nine employees. The ABS also collects data on innovation, technology, intellectual property, and financing from U.S.-based companies of all sizes.
