Abstract	This brief document reports on Federal support to individual universities and colleges both for science/engineering (S/E) and non-S/E activities. The study, the only source of data on total Federal obligations to individual academic and nonprofit institutions, is carried out annually by the National Science Foundation (NSF), as a result of a congressional mandate to do so. The data are based on a survey of the 15 Federal Agencies with the largest programs supporting S/E activities, and account for about 95 percent of all Federal obligations to universities and colleges in fiscal year 1980. Support increased by 9 percent between 1979 and 1980, which meant 1 percent in real dollars. Further, the greatest increase in research and development (R&D) funds between 1971 and 1980 occurred in life sciences, the smallest in psychology. This report contains detailed information on several aspects of Federal support, including a table listing Federal obligations to 100 universities and colleges receiving the largest amounts in fiscal year 1980.
