a The majority of expenditures included under all other surveyed institutions for FY 2009 is accounted for by multi-campus institutions that reported a single amount prior to FY 2010.
NOTES: Institutions reporting zero expenditures in ranked total for FY 2012 are not listed in this table. Tied institutions are ranked alphabetically. Institutions ranked are geographically separate campuses headed by a campus-level president or chancellor. Some campuses are part of large multi-campus universities; some are part of state university systems. For a complete listing of campuses that belong to a larger university or system and their aggregate R&D expenditures, see table A-3.
