This is the fourth in a series of reports on federal support to universities and colleges prepared for the Committee on Academic Science and Engineering (CASE) of the Federal Council for Science and Technology. Data for the six year period, fiscal years 1963-68, are presented in the report. Amounts reported by federal agencies represent obligations to individual universities and colleges and associated FFRDC's (Federally Funded Research and Development Centers) for research and development, R & D plant, other science activities, and nonscience activities. This report includes data on federal obligations to 2,174 universities and colleges and 36 FFRDC's. Chapters II through IV discuss federal obligations to universities and colleges and are entitled as follows: Trends in Federal Support, Geographic Distribution of Federal Support, and Distribution of Federal Support by Institution. Chapter V presents data and reviews trends on federally funded research and development centers administered by universities and colleges. The appendix contains information on total federal obligations by agency for each university, college, or university system that received federal funds during fiscal year 1968. Data on total and academic science obligations for the 100 institutions receiving the largest amounts are also in the appendix. (Author/PR)
