TOTAL R&D EXPENDITURES AT U.S. COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES:
TOP 250 INSTITUTIONS IN R&D EXPENDITURES
IN FISCAL YEAR 2011

This table identifies the academic institutions in the top 250, ranked according to R&D expenditures in fiscal year 2011.

Academic institutions in the top 250, based on R&D expenditures in fiscal year 2011, are derived from the National Science Foundation (NSF) report, Higher Education Research and Development: Fiscal Year 2011, Table 13. This NSF report, based on NSF's fiscal year 2011 Higher Education Research and Development (HERD) Survey, collects the separately budgeted research and development expenditures reported by universities and colleges:

The term 'separately budgeted R&D expenditures' includes all funds expended for activities specifically organized to produce research outcomes. These activities are either commissioned by an agency external to the institution or are separately budgeted by an organizational unit within the institution. 'Expenditures' are funds actually spent by an institution during its fiscal year. For purposes of R&D expenditures, organizational units include all units of an institution that are included in or with an institution's financial statements.

Further information regarding the above-noted survey and report is available from NSF.

The names of academic institutions in the NSF report are shown in the following table. The NSF ranking, in many cases, includes specific campuses of statewide systems, such as the University of California at San Diego (U. CA, San Diego), which is ranked 6th in R&D expenditures in 2011. However, it is not always possible to identify the patents associated with a specific campus; frequently, the name of a larger institution or statewide system -- not a specific campus-- appears as the assignee name on a U.S. patent. For example, a patent assigned to the University of California, may or may not be associated with the San Diego campus. For some academic institutions in the NSF top 250, only patent counts for broader institutions or statewide systems can be provided.

The table shows the assignee names on U.S. patents that most closely correspond to the academic institutions in the NSF top 250. In the PTMT report, U.S. Colleges and Universities-- Utility Patent Grants 1969-2012, no attempt is made to provide patent counts for specific campuses or research facilities. Where such counts do appear, those figures should not be considered to be the total patent count for those campuses or research facilities.
