HIGHER EDUCATION RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT SURVEY

FY 2009

Introduction

This survey collects data on research and development (R&D) activities at higher education institutions. Previously this collection was known as the Survey of Research and Development Expenditures at Universities and Colleges. The revised name reflects the survey’s expanded focus on measures of R&D activities in addition to expenditures. All questions refer to R&D activities and expenditures within your institution’s 2009 fiscal year.

General survey definitions and instructions are provided on pages 2 and 3.

Your survey participation

Your participation in this survey provides important information on the national level of research activity. NSF is authorized to collect this information under the National Science Foundation Act of 1950, as amended. Your institution’s response is entirely voluntary; your failure to provide some or all of the information will in no way adversely affect your institution.

Survey Definitions and Instructions

Research and development (R&D)

includes “organized research” as defined by 2 CFR 220 (OMB Circular A-21). Please include all R&D activities of an institution that are separately budgeted and accounted for (see definition below). R&D includes both “sponsored research” activities (sponsored by Federal and non-Federal agencies and organizations) and “university research” (separately budgeted under an internal application of institutional funds).

Research

is the systematic study directed toward fuller knowledge or understanding of the subject studied. Research is classified as either basic or applied, according to the objectives of the investigator.

Basic research – is research directed toward an increase of knowledge; it is research where the primary aim of the investigator is a fuller knowledge or understanding of the subject under study rather than a specific application thereof.

Applied research – is research conducted to gain the knowledge or understanding to meet a specific, recognized need.

Development

is the systematic use of the knowledge or understanding gained from research, directed toward the production of useful materials, devices, systems, or methods, including design and development of prototypes and processes.

Separately budgeted R&D

includes all funds expended for activities specifically organized to produce research outcomes and commissioned by an agency either external to the institution or separately budgeted by an organizational unit within the institution.

Current fund expenditures

are expenditures of funds available for current operations. Such expenditures include, among others, all those funded from unrestricted gifts and restricted current funds to the extent that such funds were expended for current operating purposes.

Change to fields of R&D included in survey items

Please note that this revised questionnaire includes all fields of R&D in all survey items. Responses to all survey items should include R&D within science and engineering fields as in the past, and also should include R&D within all other fields such as humanities, education, law, and the arts. See question 9 for a complete listing of all fields of R&D.

Please include	Please do not include
Direct and indirect costs Research equipment purchased from “current fund” accounts Research funds passed through to a subrecipient organization, educational or other Clinical trial research expenditures (for Phases I, II, and III) Research training grants (such as NIH K awards and T32 grants)	Non-research training grants Public service grants Demonstration projects Departmental research expenditures that are not separately budgeted Research conducted by university faculty or staff at outside institutions that is not accounted for in your financial records Phase IV clinical trial expenditures

Please include these components of your institution	Please do not include
All branches of your institution included in or with your financial statements or notes to your financial statements, such as Agricultural experiment stations Medical schools Hospitals or clinics integrated operationally with the clinical programs of your medical school Research centers and facilities A university 501(c)3 research foundation	Federally funded R&D centers (FFRDCs). This information is collected separately. Other organizations or institutions, such as teaching hospitals or research institutes, with which your institution has an affiliation or relationship, but which are not components of your institution.

NOTE: All financial data should be reported in thousands of dollars; for example, an expenditure of $25,342 should be rounded to the nearest thousand and reported as $25.

How much of your total current fund expenditures for separately budgeted research and development (R&D) came from the following sources in FY 2009? (See definition of R&D on previous pages.) Include both direct and recovered indirect costs in rows a, b, c, d, and f. Report the original source of funds, when possible. For example, if you received federal funds from another university, report that amount under “U.S. federal government.” Include all fields of R&D: sciences, engineering, humanities, education, law, arts, etc. See full listing in Question 9.

	2. Cost sharing Include mandatory and voluntary cost sharing other than unrecovered indirect costs. Report unrecovered indirect costs in row e3.			$______ (Confidential 1)
	3. Unrecovered indirect costs You may calculate this amount as follows for your externally funded R&D (preferably on a project-specific basis) using the appropriate cost rate—on-campus, off-campus, etc. First, multiply the negotiated rate by the corresponding base. Second, subtract recovered indirect costs.			$______ (Confidential 1)
	4. Total institutional funds				$ TOTAL —

² Row and column totals are automatically generated on the web survey.

How much of the total R&D expenditures reported in Question 1, rows c, d, and f came from foreign sources? Foreign sources include foreign governments, industry, and nonprofit organizations located outside the U.S. In deciding whether to classify a source as foreign, use the address where the project award originated. Foreign sources do not include Puerto Rico or other territories of the United States.

Of the total R&D expenditures reported in Question 1, row g, how much was expended for R&D projects in your medical school? If your institution does not have a medical school (that is, a school that awards the M.D. or D.O. degree), check here and go to Question 4.  In determining which expenditures to report for your medical school, include projects for which the principal investigator’s primary appointment is in your medical school.

How much of your total and federal R&D expenditures reported in Question 1, rows a and g, did your institution receive as a subrecipient? The subrecipient for an award carries out the work but receives the funds from a pass-through entity rather than directly from the original funding source. See OMB Circular A-133, Section 105 for the federal definition. Subrecipients tend to be the co-authors of publications, writers of technical reports discussing findings, inventors, etc. Do not include vendor relationships. A vendor supplies goods and services. See OMB Circular A-133, Section 210.

The total for the last row (row K, page 13) should match total federal sources reported in Question 1, row a. Examples of the disciplines included in each field are listed below. If an individual project involves more than one of the 36 fields of R&D, please prorate expenditures when possible and report the amount for each field involved. (Note: Question 10 asks for expenditures for interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary R&D regardless of whether you prorate the expenditures.)
