a Includes obligations from the following agencies: the Agency for International Development, the Appalachian Regional Commission, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of the Interior, the Department of Justice, the Department of Transportation, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the Social Security Administration.
NOTES: Detail may not add to total because of rounding. Institution order is based on total actual dollars received before amounts are rounded. The table includes obligations to every individual institution included within each system. Only those agencies that had obligations in the variables represented by this table appear in the table. As of FY 2017, six universities formerly under the Tennessee Board of Regents were given independent governing boards, and one college joined the University of Arkansas System. See the FY 2017 Technical Notes for full details.
