Below is the uncorrected machine-read text of this chapter, intended to provide our own search engines and external engines with highly rich, chapter-representative searchable text of each book. Because it is UNCORRECTED material, please consider the following text as a useful but insufficient proxy for the authoritative book pages.

APPENDIX E FACULTY RESEARCH SUPPORT The names of National Science Foundation (NSF) research grant awardees were obtained from a file maintained by the NSF Division of Information Systems. The file provided to the committee covered all research grant awards made in FY1978, FY1979, and FY1980 and included the names of the principal investigator and co-principal investigators for each award. Also available from this file was information concerning the field of science/engineering of the research grant and the institution with which the investigator was affiliated. This information was used in identifying which research grant recipients were on the program faculty lists provided by institutional coordinators. The names of National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration {ADAMHA) research grant recipients (principal investigators only) were obtained from the NIH Information for Management Planning, Analysis, and Coordination System. This system contains a detailed record of all applications and awards in the various training and research support programs of these agencies. For the purposes of this study, information analogous to that available from the NSF file was extended for FY1978-80 research grant awardees and their records were matched with the program faculty lists. Measure 13 constitutes the fraction of program faculty members who had received one or more research grant awards from NSF (including both principal investigators and co-principal investigators), NIH, or ADAMHA during the FY1978-80 period. R&D EXPENDITURES Total university expenditures for R&D activities are available from the NSF Survey of Scientific and Engineering Expenditures at Universities and Colleges. A copy of the survey form appears on the following pages. 221

223 ITEM 1. CURRENT EXPENDITURES FOR SEPARATELY BUDGETED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (R&D) IN THE SCIENCES AND ENGINEERING, BY SOURCE OF FUNDS AND BASIC RESEARCH, FY 1979 (Include indirect costs) ITEMS 1. & 2. INSTRUCTIONS Separately budgeted research and development (R&D) includes all funds expended for activities specifically organized to produce research outcomes and commissioned by an agency either external to the institution or separately budgeted by an organizational unit within the institution Include equipment purchased under research project awards as part of "current funds.'' Research funds subcontracted to outside organizations should also be included. Exclude training grants, public service grants, demonstration projects, etc. Under a. Federal Government. Report grants and contracts for R&D by all agencies of the Federal Government including indirect costs from these sou roes. Under b. State and local governments. Include funds for R&D from State, county, municipal, or other local governments and their agencies. Include here State funds which support R&D at agricultural experiment stations. Under c. Industry. Include all grants and contracts for R&D from profitmaking organizations, whether engaged in production, distribution, research, service, or other activities. Do not include grants and contracts from nonprofit foundations financed by industry, which should be re- ported under All other sources. Under d. Institutional funds. Report funds which your institution spent for R&D activities including indirect costs from the following sources: ( 1 ) General-purpose State or local government appropriations; (2) genera-purpose grants from industry, foundations, or other outside sources; (3) tuition and fees; (4) endowment income. In addition, estimate your institution's contribution to unreimbursed indirect costs incurred in association with R&D projects financed by outside organizations, and mandatory cost sharing on Federal and other grants. To estimate unreimbursed indirect costs, many institutions use a university-wide negotiated indirect cost rate multiplied by the base (e.g., direct salaries and wages, etc.) minus actual indirect cost recoveries. If your institution now separately budgets What was previously classified as departmental research, these data should be included in line d. Under e. All other sources. Include foundations and voluntary health agencies grants for R&D, as well as all other sources not elsewhere classified. Funds from foundations which are affiliated with or grant solely to your institution should be included under d. Institutional fiends. Funds for R&D received from a health agency that is a unit of a State or local government should be reported under Stagehand local governments. Also include gifts from individuals that are restricted by the donor to research. Please exclude from your response any R&D expenditures in the fields of education, law, humanities, music, the arts, physical education, library science, and all other nonscience fields.
