The National Survey of Academic Research Instruments and Instrumentation Needs is a congressionally mandated program that collects data concerning scientific research instruments and the academic departments and facilities in which they are located. This report analyzes overall instrumentation issues and trends in all the fields covered by the survey, which include agriculture, biology, chemistry, computer science, environmental sciences, physics/astronomy, and engineering. Sections are divided into Annual Expenditures for Research Instrumentation and Special Analyses of Expenditures Data, An Assessment of Needs for Academic Research Instrumentation, and Technical Notes. Appendices contain detailed tables, sampled institutions, fields and subfields used in the national survey, and a copy of the department/facility questionnaire. (JRH)
