aPsychology and social sciences not differentiated in questionnaire item for FY 1990–91.
NOTES: Animal research space listed separately and also included in individual field totals. Question on construction costs not asked on FY 2001 survey; therefore, no data reported. Only construction projects costing >$250,000 for a single field reported on FY 2003 and FY 2005 surveys; construction projects costing >$100,000 reported in previous cycles. 2006–07 data estimates of planned research space. Detail may not add to total because of rounding.
