This report is the latest in a series of annual reports to the President and Congress on total Federal obligations (excluding loans) awarded to individual institutions of higher education and selected nonprofit institutions. A major portion of the report focuses on Federal obligations to universities and colleges for research and development, R & D facilities, and science education. Science education is examined in terms of three broad areas of support: fellowships, traineeships, and training grants; general support for science; and facilities and equipment for instruction in science and engineering. Data on Federal funding of nonscience activities are also given to provide a total picture of Federal support of higher education. In addition to analysis by type of activity are analyses and tabulations showing agency sources of support, trend data, field-of-science data, distribution of funds by State, distribution of funds by institution, and distribution of funds by type of control.
