Analyzes trends in the research and development spending on the basis of a survey of chemical makers made by the Chemical and Engineering News. Indicates the presence of a modest upturn in 1973 in the basic chemical industry even in constant dollar terms. (CC)

Provides data on Research and Development (R&D) spending by U.S. industry, outlays by the chemical industry, basic research vs applied research vs development, spending by other industries for chemical research, pharmaceutical research, and budgets of individual companies. (Author/HM)

Discusses data on chemical research and development (R&D). Areas addressed include sources of R&D funds, R&D spending by the federal government and by industry, and sources of academic R&D funds. provides charts and tables and data on scientists/engineers, budgets, comparisons between applied/basic R&D, abstracts in chemical…

Data are presented in chart and graph form focusing on research and development (R&D) funding by the federal government, including federal obligations for total R&D (largest increases for defense and space); research; scientific disciplines; development; basic research; applied research; university research and applied research; and funds…

Provides data on U.S. Federal funds for Research and Development (R&D); what agencies supply the funds; how funds are divided between research and development; how much goes for chemistry and other physical sciences and for other disciplines; and federal obligations for university R&D. (Author/HM)

Data are presented on university research and development (R&D) focusing on character and fields of university R&D sources of funds, federally financed R&D spending, top 12 universities in R&D spending and top 12 R&D centers, academic scientists/engineers, chemical degrees, graduate science students, and schools spending most…
