NOTES: Institutions reporting zero expenditures in ranked total for FY 2013 are not listed in this table. 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 84.
