State governments play an important role in advancing knowledge—notably
through their support of academic research—and in promoting science- and
technology-based economic development. They also undertake their own research
in support of government functions over which states have influence and responsibility,
such as those related to transportation, health, and the environment. Includes state research and development expenditure data for the 50 states,
the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Data include expenditures by performer, source of funding, and type of R&D
(e.g., basic research.) The scope of the collection includes amounts for all
science and engineering outlays, including social science research. R&D
capital expenditures, such as research lab construction and the purchase of
buildings. Biennial. The Bureau of the Census has been the data collection agent for the
National Science Foundation for this survey since fiscal year 2006. Reported
data are for fiscal years; collection begins approximately eight months after
the fiscal year ends, and continues for approximately eight months. This survey is a Web collection. Respondents key directly into a web form. NSF publishes a Survey of State Research and Development Infobrief and a detailed

education institutions, and private industries. The results of these surveys
provide a consistent information base for government officials, state government
officials and policy makers, industry professionals, and researchers to use
in formulating public policy and planning in science and technology. These surveys
allow for the analysis of current and historical trends in research and development
in the U.S., as well as comparisons with other countries. EXPLORE INFORMATION CONTINUE OVERVIEW
