NOTES:  Seven agencies are required to report data for this section of survey: Departments of Agriculture, Defense, Energy, Health and Human Services, and Homeland Security; National Aeronautics and Space Administration; and National Science Foundation. Basic research obligations of these seven agencies represented approximately 99% of total federal basic research obligations to universities and colleges in FY 2006. Data for only those agencies and subdivisions that had obligations in variables represented by this table appear in table. See appendix C for additional notes associated with agencies listed in this table.
