* = amount greater than $0 but less than $50,000. na = not applicable; agency or subagency did not exist as such or in that organization in that year. NA = not available; data were not collected at that level for that fiscal year.

^a The Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service changed its name to the National Institute of Food and Agriculture in FY 2008.

NOTES: Because of rounding, detail may not add to total. Only those agencies and subdivisions that had obligations in variables represented by this table appear in the table. In FY 2000, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) reclassified the International Space Station (ISS) as a physical asset, reclassified ISS Research as equipment, and transferred funding for the program from R&D to R&D plant; the National Institutes of Health reclassified all its development activities as research. The Transportation Security Laboratory (TSL) initially existed under the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), but in the 2005 DHS reorganization, TSL was moved from TSA to the Science and Technology Directorate. In FY 2006, NASA reclassified as operational costs funding for Space Operations, the Hubble Space Telescope, the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, and the James Webb Space Telescope that previously had been reported as R&D plant. Between FY 2006 and FY 2007, NASA's R&D obligations decreased for two reasons: (1) in FY 2007, NASA excluded projects that were operational in nature that were not excluded in FY 2006, which accounts for $850 million of the decrease; and (2) there was an overall decrease in obligations between FY 2006 and FY 2007, which accounts for the remainder of the decrease. See technical table A-2 for additional notes associated with the agencies listed in this table.
