The annual report Federal Funds for Research and Development: Fiscal Years 1997, 1998, and 1999 will be published later this year. To provide data users with the most timely data possible, the selected tables from the report are being made available while the printed report is being prepared. The statistics in the tables are considered final and are not expected to be revised. These tables could appear in the printed report with format changes to conform with report publication guidelines and procedures.
Research and development (R&D) totals in these tables are given in both outlays and obligations. The R&D obligation data are further categorized according to character of work (total research, basic research, applied research, development, and R&D plant), performer of R&D, and field of science and engineering for research.

Table Notes
- Because of rounding, detail may not add to totals.
- Dashes or asterisks appearing in lieu of figures indicate that the amounts are less than 50 thousand dollars or less than 0.5 percent.
- The abbreviation "FFRDCs" appearing in statistical tables refers to federally funded research and development centers.
- In tables showing extramural performers, obligations of the U.S. Department of Agriculture to agricultural experiment stations are included within obligations to universities and colleges.
- Defense agencies within the Department of Defense include the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the Defense Information Systems Agency, the Defense Logistics Agency, the Defense Special Weapons Agency, the Joint Staff, the National Imagery and Mapping Agency, the Special Operations Command, and the Washington Headquarters Services.
- In January 1996 the Bureau of Mines was abolished, and some of its activities were transferred to the Bureau of Land Management, the Geological Survey, and the Department of Energy
