OMB data from the Budget of the U.S. Government FY 2003: Analytical
Perspectives Chapter 8.
The programs in the Federal Science and Technology Budget do not correspond
to definitions of R&D. The FS&T Budget contains selected R&D and non-R&D programs
with an emphasis on basic and applied research and the creation of new knowledge
or technologies. The programs in this table were selected by OMB, and differ
from the original definitions of FS&T proposed by the National Academy of Sciences.
