This report is the second of two publications containing results from the 1998 Survey of Industrial Research and Development. The first publication, a data brief announcing the availability of survey results, contains analytical information and highlights the increase in industrial research and development(R&D) funded from companies' own resources and the increased sales and employment of R&D-performing scientists and engineers reported by R&D-performing firms. This report contains the full set of statistics produced from the survey including statistics on R&D funding for the years 1988-98 and on R&D personnel for the period January 1989 to January 1999. This report provides national estimates of the expenditures on R&D performed within the United States by industrial firms, whether U.S. - or foreign-owned. Among the statistics are estimates of total R&D, the portion financed by the Federal Government, and the portion financed by the companies themselves or by other non-Federal sources such as state and local governments or other industrial firms under contract or subcontaract. Total R&D is also separated into its character of work components (basic research, applied research, and development) and into the types of costs (wages, materials and supplies, depreciation, and other). Other statistics include R&D financed by a domestic firm but performed outside the United States, R&D contracted to organizations outside of the firm, and the funds spent to perform energy-related R&D. Also this report provides information on R&D-performing firms including domestic net sales, number of employees, number of R&D-performing scientists and engineers, geopraphic location of where the R&D is performed, and R&D funds per R&D-performing scientist and engineer.
