a For Howard Hughes Medical Institute, figures are for the direct conduct of biomedical research, and exclude support for scientific career development. Figures for 1985 include only 8 months of operations because of change in fiscal year.

b Includes expenditures for federally funded research and development centers administered by organizations in the respective sectors.

c The NIH Biomedical Research and Development Price Index differs from the implicit price deflator for the Gross National Product.

The field-specific labor forces include individuals who have Ph.D.s in these fields and who are either employed or unemployed. Estimates are subject to sampling error. Comparisons between 1991 estimates and those of earlier years should be made with caution due to changes in survey methodology. Prior to 1991, the SDR collected data by mail methods only.

Estimates are subject to sampling error. Comparisons between 1991 estimates and those of earlier years should be made with caution due to changes in survey methodology.

a Figures were obtained from the Association of American Medical Colleges (1972-92a, annual tabulations). Because AAMC data were incomplete, figures for 1963 and 1969 were obtained from the American Medical Association (1960-90). Items may not sum to totals due to rounding.

b From the U.S. Bureau of the Census (1992).

c Estimates for 1964-1975 were derived from data supplied by John James, NIH Division of Research Grants; 1976-1984 data were estimated by the NRC Committee on National Needs for Biomedical and Behavioral Research Personnel; 1985-1990 were derived from the NSF Survey of Federal Support to Universities.

d Financial data from the University of Washington and Mayo Medical School were included for the first time in 1983
