a Includes America Samoa, Baker Island, Guam, Howland Island, Jarvis Island, Johnston Atoll, Kingman Reef, Midway Islands, Navassa Island, Northern Mariana Islands, Palmyra Atoll, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Wake Island.
b Includes R&D performed or administered in foreign countries by the U.S. government.
c 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: DHS, DOC, DOD, DOE, DOI, DOT, EPA, HHS, NASA, NSF, and USDA. Obligations of these 11 agencies represented over 98% of total federal R&D 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. See technical table A-2 for additional notes associated with the agencies listed in this table.
