Institution-level microdata from the FFRDC Research & Development Survey are provided in the files below. The files include publicly releasable data for each survey year from FY 1979 through FY 2022. Prior to 2001 only FFRDCs administered by academic institutions were included in the survey.
The file organization makes each year's institution data available in a single record. The microdata are organized by year and are available in Excel and SAS. Detailed descriptions and instructions for the data files are provided below.
Correction(s) Date Feb 13, 2018: In the FY 2015 public use file, the location of several FFRDCs was listed incorrectly. The affected FFRDCs were National Radio Astronomy Observatory, Science and Technology Policy Institute, SLAC National Accelerator Lab, Aerospace FFRDC, and National Solar Observatory. Their locations have been corrected in the public use file. The FY 2015 data tables were unaffected.
