b Includes R&D performed or administered in foreign countries by the U.S. government and obligations for R&D plant in foreign countries by the U.S. government.
c Department of Defense (DOD) obligations for which the location of performance is not reported.
NOTES: Because of rounding, detail may not add to total. Eleven agencies are required to report data for this section of the survey: the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, the Interior, and Transportation; the Environmental Protection Agency; the National Aeronautics and Space Administration; and the National Science Foundation. Obligations of these 11 agencies represented over 98% of total federal R&D and R&D plant obligations in FY 2016. Geographic distribution of DOD development funding to industry reflects location of prime contractors and not the numerous subcontractors who perform much of the R&D.
