The data presented in these tables cover all categories of direct Federal science and engineering (S&E) support to institutions of higher education in the United States for science and engineering (S&E) activities. The 19 agencies listed in these tables provide virtually all of the Federal funding for S&E research and development (R&D) at U.S. universities and colleges. Data are also reported on these agencies' obligations to nonprofit institutions.
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2001 data in this report were submitted by 19 Federal agencies, covering the period October 1, 2000, through September 30, 2001. Because of space constraints, data for 10 agencies are often combined and reported in an "other" category in tables that show funding by agency. The 10 agencies are the Agency for International Development; the Appalachian Regional Commission; the Departments of Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Labor, and Transportation; the General Services Administration; the Nuclear Regulatory Commission; the Office of Justice Programs; and the Social Security Administration.
The following agencies were included in the "other" category, if they reported obligations in the variables represented by the table:

In FY 2001, the 19 agencies reported obligations to 1,147 universities and colleges, 44 academic system offices, and 913 independent nonprofit institutions (including 247 research institutes, 106 voluntary hospitals, and 560 other independent nonprofit institutions).
Because of rounding, data in the text or tables may not add to the totals or subtotals shown. Reported obligations were rounded to the nearest thousand dollars by the submitting agency.
