Abstract:
The U.S. Census Bureau plans to continue to conduct the Survey of State Research and Development to measure research and development supported and performed by state governments in the United States. This survey is a joint effort between the Census Bureau and the National Science Foundation (NSF). Items on the survey form include research and development expenditures according to the source of funding, by performer of the work (internal and external to state agencies), and by character (i.e., basic, applied, or developmental). Final results produced by NSF contain state and national estimates useful to a variety of data users interested in research and development performance including: the National Science Board; the Office of Management and Budget; the Office of Science and Technology Policy and other science policy makers.
