Includes EngD, ScD; excludes MD, JD, and EdD.
Upper bound based on U.S. Small Business Administration's definition of small business; Business R&D and Innovation Survey (BRDIS) does not include companies with fewer than five domestic employees.
NOTES: Detail may not add to total because of rounding. Industry classification based on dominant business code for domestic R&D performance where available. For companies that did not report business codes,
classification used for sampling was assigned. Statistics are representative of companies located in United States that performed or funded R&D.
