Texas ranks 5th among states in federal funding for research and development at universities and health science centers (FY2004 federal obligations).
Texas received $4.8 billion for research and development from federal agencies in 2003. Most of the funding came from the Department of Defense ($2.6 B), the Department of Health and Human Services ($1.3 B), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration ($0.5 B). DOD supported development primarily at industrial firms ($2.2 B) while most of NASA's R&D funding was split between federal facilities ($0.26 B) and industrial firms ($0.21B). Most of the R&D support from DHHS--which includes the National Institutes of Health--went to academic institutions ($0.97 B).
Research intensive disciplines at Texas academic institutions include medical sciences, biological sciences, and engineering.
The Research In Texas web site is maintained by the Research Section of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. The site's purpose is to disseminate information on Texas' research enterprise.
