*-Includes FFRDCs operated by colleges and universities only. Industrially-operated FFRDCs are included under industry.
**-Includes nonprofit-operated FFRDCs.

Note: The figures in this table are expenditures rather than obligations. The other tables in this report are in terms of obligations. Because there is often a lag between year of obligation and year of actual expenditure, the sharp jump in federal R&D beginning in FY 1992 shown in the other tables is not reflected in this table.

Figures may differ from other charts because of differing survey methods. Above totals include obligations for conduct of R&D and R&D facilities support. Figures in parentheses denote national rank among the 100 universities and colleges receiving the most federal R&D funds (rankings reflect conduct of R&D only).
