a As part of the reclassification of disciplines, some R&D field names have changed. See Technical Notes, Appendix A for details.
b Prior to FY 2016, expenditures for materials science were reported under metallurgical and materials engineering.
c Johns Hopkins University includes the Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), with $150,767 thousand imputed for total R&D expenditures in physical sciences in FY 2016. 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: R&D expenditure amounts in various fields may show increases or decreases from amounts reported in FY 2015 because of the reclassification of disciplines. See Technical Notes, Appendix A. for specific details about discipline changes. Institutions reporting zero expenditures in ranked total for FY 2016 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 6.
