The section on research and development (R and D) of the annual report on the chemical industry presents data related to: chemical R and D spending, R and D as per cent of sales, R and D employment, company R and D spending, R and D costs, and all industrial R and D employment. (PR)

The relationship between the government and universities conducting federally sponsored research is under a strain. University researchers dread nit-picking. Government auditors claim poor management and questionable spending practices by university researchers. (Author/RE)

Presents statistics for the distribution of research and development funds and manpower in industry, universities and colleges, other nonprofit organizations, and the Federal government. (MLH)

Presents a series of tables outlining college and university expenditures for research and development (R&D) over the last 10 years. Tables include sources of university R&D funds, character and fields of R&D spending, areas of federally financed R&D, and others. (GS)

Compares federal research and development funding for 1976 through 1978 in terms of agency breakdown and type of research. (MLH)

Presents a series of tables outlining federal obligations for research and development (R&D) for 1980 and compares these with preceeding years through 1976. Tables include comparisons of obligations among federal agencies, among scientific disciplines, between basic research and applied research, and others. (GS)

Presents tables outlining chemical industry expenditures for research and development (R&D) over the last 10 years. Tables include federal support for industrial R&D, comparisons of chemical R&D with other industries, expenditures by major chemical firms, R&D by U.S. companies abroad, drug related R&D, and others. (GS)

Analyzes current trends in national research and development (R&D) spending. Presents data on the percent of federal v nonfederal monies; dollar amounts committed by the federal government, industry, universities and nonprofit institutions; performers of R&D; dollar amounts adjusted for inflation; and numbers of employed scientists and engineers.…

Reviews the findings of the White House Science Council's Panel on the Health of United States Colleges and Universities. Assesses the university research community funding policy. Makes recommendations for policy change, facility improvement, and restructuring of grants. (JM)

Data are presented on university research and development (R&D) focusing on character and fields of university R&D sources of funds, federally financed R&D spending, top 12 universities in R&D spending and top 12 R&D centers, academic scientists/engineers, chemical degrees, graduate science students, and schools spending most…

Summarizes President Carter's 1982 budget proposal for research and development (R and D) in science, technology, and related areas, with largest increases going to defense, and NASA. Indicates that R and D money could be affected by the Reagan Administration budget cuts. (SK)

Presents an overview of the U.S. research and development effort. Data are provided on who supplies the money, who spends it, and how it is distributed among various types of Research and Development (R&D). (HM)

Explains the aims behind the first six regional facilities that are being established at universities that already have strong state-of-the art programs in the areas of their grants. Gives a brief look at the facilities and what each has to offer. (GA)

Examines a 1988 National Science Foundation survey that found nearly 60 percent of space currently used for academic research is in need of repair. Warns that the problem continues to get worse as renovation funding is difficult to secure. Looks at other findings of the survey also. (MVL)
