Abstract | This report describes federal funding mechanisms used, including relative magnitudes of support, by the six federal agencies that support most of the scientific research at universities and examines trends of how the use of these mechanisms has changed over time. The six agencies are the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy, the Department of Defense, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Department of Agriculture. The array of mechanisms includes: (1) individual project support; (2) program support; (3) center support; (4) special training needs; (5) major equipment and facilities; and (6) institutional support. For purposes of the report, funding mechanisms are classified as either mechanisms that support research directly or mechanisms that support the infrastructure of research. The report examines the funding of mechanisms used by private foundations and voluntary associations in supporting university research. The data were collected for fiscal year 1984 and are limited to funds obligated by federal agencies for the performance of research at and by a university department, program, center, or other university facility.
