Although fiscal year (FY) 2019 began Oct. 1, NIH is the only major research-funding agency to have a new budget—Congress gave it a boost of $2 billion for a total of $39 billion. Other agencies, including the National Science Foundation (NSF), are operating under FY 2018 levels. According to recently released NSF data, federal science and engineering obligations, or spending, to academic institutions increased 3.5% from 2015 to 2016. Obligations consist of funds for “research and development, facilities and fixed equipment used in R&D; facilities and equipment for instruction in science and engineering; fellowships, traineeships and training grants; and general support for science and engineering.” Below is a list of the top 20 and amounts received from FYs 2011 to 2016.
