R&D Budget and Policy Program
Guide to R&D Funding Data - Historical Data
The below charts and tables present a range of federal R&D data series, including research budgets by agency, character and discipline. Most data come from annual AAAS R&D budget reports. Additionally, some charts below rely on data collected by the National Science Foundation's National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics, and from the historical tables provided by the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB), via the President's budget request. Constant-dollar conversions (adjusting for inflation) use OMB's chained price index, found in historical table 10.1 from the most recent budget request. If you have any questions, or are looking for data you don't see below, contact us.
