a Prior to FY 2008, five federally funded research and development centers administered by the MITRE Corporation reported only internal R&D projects.
b R&D expenditures decreased in FY 2011 due to removal of expenditures for capital projects. In this survey, R&D expenditures do not include capital projects. In previous years, some federally funded research and development centers included capital expenditures in their R&D totals. Previous years include an unknown amount of capital expenditures, estimated to be less than $500 million per year.
c R&D expenditures reported by Los Alamos National Laboratory decreased by $349 million in FY 2013 due to the removal of expenditures that were not for R&D as defined by this survey.
