Federal support to universities, colleges, and selected nonprofit institutions, Fiscal Year 1979. Final report
This report presents data collected in the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Survey of Federal Support to Universities, Colleges, and Selected Nonprofit Institutions, Fiscal Year 1979, covering the period October 1, 1978 through September 30, 1979. The reporting system is based on the program established in 1965 by the Committee on Academic Science and Engineering (CASE) of the Federal Council on Science and Technology (FCST). The figures shown in these tables represent all obligations to institutions of higher education in the United States. The 14 Federal agencies represented accounted for an estimated 95% of total obligations to universities and colleges and over 99% of all funding for scientific and engineering (S/E) research and development at such institutions. Agencies not surveyed funded only $16 million to universities and colleges for research and development in 1979. Obligations shown for universities and colleges do not include funds obligated to federally funded research and development centers (FFRDC's) administered by academic institutions. Academic science obligations to these organizations are presented separately, as are R and D obligations to independent nonprofit institutions and nonprofit-administered FFRDC's. Data presented for selected non-profit institutions and for nonprofit-administered FFRDC's represent obligations for research, development, and R and D plant by the 14 participating agencies regardless of amount. Unless constant dollars are specified, data shown in this report are in current dollars. Data shown in the text or tabulations may not add to the totals or subtotals because of rounding.
