aIncludes in-state total R&D performance of industry, universities, Federal agencies, FFRDCs, and federally financed nonprofit R&D.
bIncludes R&D activities of industry-administered FFRDCs located within these states.
cExcludes R&D activities of university-administered FFRDCs located within these states.
dIncludes costs associated with administration of intramural and extramural programs by Federal personnel and actual intramural performance.

NOTES: Reliability of estimates of industry R&D varies by state because sample allocation was not based on geography. Rankings do not take into account margin of error of estimates from sample surveys.
