This report examines R&D performed by U.S. higher education institutions. It discusses funding by source and S&E field for R&D activities and equipment and provides information on research space. It benchmarks the United States against other nations, and it looks at how academic R&D investments

Articles were categorized by S&E fields corresponding to the 14 fields of science in the NCSES Taxonomy of Disciplines (TOD) (Science-Metrix 2023). This categorization first assigns the journal to one of the 176 subfields in the Science-Metrix classification, then to the TOD. This approach works

In 2021, no more than 1% of S&E graduate students were supported by foreign sources, including around 1,000 master’s students (0.3%) and 2,580 doctoral students (1%). Foreign sources supported the most students in engineering (1,483) (NCSES GSS 2021 : Table 3-1 ). They also supported around 2

This report presents data on peer-reviewed S&E journals and conference proceedings reflecting the rapidly expanding volume of research activity, the involvement and scientific capabilities different countries, and the expanding research ecosystem demonstrated through international collaborations

The funding and performance of research and experimental development (R&D) activities and the publication of peer-reviewed research, an output of R&D activity, serve as important indicators of the competitiveness of U.S. science and engineering in a global context. According to internationally
