^aStatistics are based on companies in the United States that reported to the survey, regardless of whether they did or did not perform or fund R&D. These statistics do not include an adjustment to the weight to account for unit nonresponse.

^bStatistics pertain to companies located in the United States that performed or funded R&D.
NOTES: Survey asked companies to identify innovations introduced in 2009-2011. Sum of yes and no responses may not add to number of companies due to item nonresponse to some innovation question items. Figures are preliminary and may later be revised. The full set of detailed statistical tables from the 2011 BRDIS will be available in Business R&D and Innovation: 2011 scheduled for release in 2014. Innovation statistics are found in Tables 46-49. Relative standard errors for each cell in those tables are available from NCSES upon request. Selected final statistics are summarized in NCSES’s InfoBrief: “Business R&D Performance in the United States Increased in 2011” (NSF 13-335) at http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/infbrief/nsf13335.
