Figures may differ from other charts because of differing survey methods. Above totals are expressed in EXPENDITURES rather than obligations, and may therefore differ from other charts. This survey covers doctorate-granting institutions only.

Figures in parentheses are rankings among doctorate-granting institutions for total R&D performed (all funding sources).
