Source: AAAS analyses of defense and nondefense R&D, based on detailed budget account projections in the Public Budget Database of the Budget of the United States Government FY 2002.
FY 2001 figures represent latest agency estimates of R&D. FY 2002 figures represent latest revised agency requests. Constant dollar conversions based on GDP deflators from OMB.
* DOD outyear projections will not be available until completion of the Defense Strategy Review (late May). All defense R&D (DOD + DOE defense) excluded from this table. This table will be revised to include defense R&D when DOD data become available.
The detailed analysis of nondefense R&D containing agency details and methodology, and other outyear projections are available on the World Wide Web at http://www.aaas.org/spp/R&D/ in the "Guide to R&D Funding Data" section (see "Outyear Projections").
