OMB data from the Budget of the U.S. Government FY 2004: 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.
