a Johns Hopkins University includes Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), with $141,362 thousand imputed for total R&D expenditures in physical sciences in FY 2015. Total expenditures by field for Johns Hopkins University are flagged as imputed because APL was unable to distribute a portion of institutionally funded R&D by field.
NOTES: Institutions reporting zero expenditures in ranked total for FY 2015 are not listed in this table. Tied institutions are ranked alphabetically. 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 83.
