The data presented in these tables cover all categories of derict Federal sciecne and engineering (S&E) support to institutions of higher education, including federally funded research and development centers, in the United States for science and engineering (S&E) activities. The 19 agencies listed in these tables provide virtually all of the Federal funding for S&E research and development(R&D) at U.S. universities and colleges. Data are also reported on these agencies' obligations to nonprofit institutions. The FY 1998 data in this report were submitted by 19 Federal agencies, covering the period October 1, 1997, through September 30, 1998. Data reported by the Agency for International Development; the Appalachian Regional Commission; the Departments of Housing and Urban Development, Labor, State, and Transportation; the Nuclear Regulatory Commission; the Office of Justice Programs; and the Social Security Administration were combined because of space constraints to constitute the "other" category in tables that show funding by agency. In 1998, these 9 agencies accounted for less than 1 percent of all Federal S&E academic support. In most tables that list data by agency and individual institution, the "other" column includes data from the Department of the Interior in addition to those 9 agencies. The detailed agency-specific data are available from the National Science Foundation (NSF) upon request. In 1998, the 19 agencies reported obligations to 1081 univeristies and colleges, 37 academic system offices, and 960 independent nonprofit institutions.
