This bulletin presents data from a survey covering research and development (R&D) expenditures of state government agencies (exclusive of state universities and colleges) for 1973. Charts showing expenditures, by source of funds of selected years and share of character-of-work components in state agency R&D activities, are shown in the report. Tables showing state agency expenditures for R&D, by state and functional area for fiscal year 1973 as well as for other selected years, are shown; tables also present R&D expenditures by field of science. The states that account for a major share of total state agency R&D and R&D plant expenditures include Illinois, Florida, Texas, Washington, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Michigan and Ohio. The survey also included data on the scientific manpower engaged in the intramural performance of state agency R&D efforts. (EB)
