NOTES: Detail does not add to total for money amounts because of rounding or suppression. The method used to assign industry classifications has changed; industry-specific estimates are not directly comparable with those for years prior to 2004. Excludes federally funded research and development centers. Detail does not add to total for number of companies because categories are not mutually exclusive. The R&D in this table is the industrial R&D performed within company facilities funded from all sources. The funds are the company's own; funds from outside organizations, such as other companies, research institutions, universities and colleges, nonprofit organizations, and state governments; and funds from the federal government. Excludes R&D performed outside of the company (e.g., R&D performed by other organizations) and R&D performed outside of the 50 U.S. states or DC (e.g., R&D not performed on U.S. soil by foreign subsidiaries or other foreign organizations). For definitions and more information about year-to-year comparability of the statistics, see technical notes and survey methodology.
