SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: Higher Education 

Research and Development Survey. 

OMB Control Number: 3145–0100.

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 5 / Tuesday, January 8, 2013 / Notices 1267 

Expiration Date of Current Approval: 

October 31, 2013. 

Proposed Renewal Project: The Higher 

Education Research and Development 

Survey (formerly known as the Survey 

of Research and Development 

Expenditures at Universities and 

Colleges) originated in fiscal year (FY) 

1954 and has been conducted annually 

since FY 1972. The survey is the 

academic research and development 

component of the NSF statistical 

program that seeks to provide a ‘‘central 

clearinghouse for the collection, 

interpretation, and analysis of data on 

the availability of, and the current and 

projected need for, scientific and 

technical resources in the United States, 

and to provide a source of information 

for policy formulation by other agencies 

of the federal government,’’ as mandated 

by the America COMPETES 

Reauthorization Act of 2010 § 505, 

codified in the National Science 

Foundation Act of 1950, as amended. In 

recent years, NSF redesigned and 

expanded the survey to better reflect the 

current state of academic R&D. The 

redesigned survey was renamed the 

Higher Education R&D Survey and pilot 

tested with a random sample of 40 

institutions during the FY 2009 survey 

cycle. The revised survey began for all 

institutions with the FY 2010 cycle. 

Use of the Information: The proposed 

project will continue the annual survey 

cycle for three years. The FY 2013 

Higher Education R&D Survey will be 

administered to an expected minimum 

of 660 institutions. In addition, a shorter 

version of the survey asking for R&D 

expenditures by source of funding and 

broad field will be sent to 

approximately 325 institutions spending 

under $1 million on R&D in their 

previous fiscal year. Finally, a survey 

requesting R&D expenditures by source 

of funds, cost categories (salaries, 

indirect costs, equipment, etc.), and 

character of work (basic research, 

applied research, or development) will 

be administered to the 39 Federally 

Funded Research and Development 

Centers. 

The Higher Education R&D Survey 

will provide continuity of statistics on 

R&D expenditures by source of funding 

and field of research, with separate data 

requested on current fund expenditures 

for research equipment by field. Further 

breakdowns are collected on funds 

passed through to subrecipients and 

funds received as a subrecipient, and on 

R&D expenditures by field from specific 

federal agency sources. As of FY 2010, 

the survey also requests total R&D 

expenditures funded from foreign 

sources, R&D within an institution’s 

medical school, clinical trial 

expenditures, R&D by type of funding 

mechanism (contracts vs. grants), R&D 

funded by the American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act of 2009, and R&D by 

cost category (salaries, equipment, 

software, etc.). The survey also requests 

headcounts of principal investigators 

and other personnel paid from R&D 

funds, as well as a separate count of 

postdocs working on R&D. 

Data are published in NSF’s annual 

publication series Higher Education 

Research and Development and are 

available electronically on the World 

Wide Web. 

The survey is a fully automated Web 

data collection effort and is handled 

primarily by administrators in 

university sponsored programs and 

accounting offices. To minimize burden, 

institutions are provided with an 

abundance of guidance and resources on 

the Web, and are able to respond via a 

downloadable excel spreadsheet if 

desired. Each institution’s record is preloaded with the 2 previous years of 

comparable data that facilitate editing 

and trend checking. Response to this 

voluntary survey has exceeded 95 

percent each year. 

The average burden report for the FY 

2011 survey was 50 hours for 

institutions reporting over $1 million in 

R&D expenditures and 14 hours for 

those reporting less than $1 million. The 

burden estimate for the FFRDC survey is 

6 hours.
