R&amp;D spending at universities from all sources increased to $54.9 billion from 2008 to 2009, an increase of nearly 6 percent. However, industry&#8217;s contribution to university science and engineering research increased 11.6 percent to $3.2 billion. (Spending levels are adjusted for inflation.)<\/p>\n<p>While industrial sources made the largest percentage increase, the Federal government continued to provide the majority of institutions&#8217; R&amp;D money; see graphic below. Nearly six of every 10 dollars spent on R&amp;D came from Federal agencies in FY 2009, with the schools themselves kicking in another two in 10 science and engineering research dollars. Industry&#8217;s share of the contributions continued to be small in comparison, although the percentage edged up from 5.5 to 5.8 percent from 2008 to 2009.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1186\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1186\" style=\"width: 426px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/technewslit.com\/sciencebusiness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/UnivRDFunds2009_1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1186\" title=\"UnivR&amp;DFunds2009_1\" src=\"http:\/\/technewslit.com\/sciencebusiness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/UnivRDFunds2009_1.png\" alt=\"Pie chart: University R&amp;D funding by source 2009 (NSF)\" width=\"426\" height=\"418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/technewslit.com\/sciencebusiness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/UnivRDFunds2009_1.png 426w, https:\/\/technewslit.com\/sciencebusiness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/UnivRDFunds2009_1-300x294.png 300w, https:\/\/technewslit.com\/sciencebusiness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/UnivRDFunds2009_1-150x147.png 150w, https:\/\/technewslit.com\/sciencebusiness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/UnivRDFunds2009_1-400x392.png 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 426px) 100vw, 426px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1186\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">National Science Foundation data<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The report indicates that some 60 percent of R&amp;D performing academic institutions in the U.S. are public rather than private, thus more of the research dollars went to public than private schools.
