— Not available. 1 Academic support excluding expenditures for libraries. 2 Generally includes only those expenditures associated with federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs). 3 Data for 1929–30 to 1945-46 are based on school-year enrollment. 4 Constant dollars based on the Consumer Price Index, prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, adjusted to a school-year basis. 5 Expenditures for federally funded research and development centers are included under "Organized research." 6 Included under "Other current expenditures." 7 Expenditures for hospitals included under "Organized activities related to instructional departments." 8 Includes other sponsored programs, which are separately budgeted programs, other than research, which are supported by sponsors outside the institution. 9 Data for 1995–96 are for degree-granting institutions. The degree-granting classification is very similar to the earlier higher education classification, except that it includes some additional institutions, primarily 2-year colleges, and excludes a few higher education institutions that did not award associate's or higher degrees. (See Guide to Sources for details.) NOTE: Institutions of higher education were accredited by an agency or association that was recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, or recognized directly by the Secretary of Education. The data in this table reflect limitations of data availability and comparability. Major changes in data collection forms in 1965–66 and 1974–75 cause significant data comparability problems among the three mostly consistent time periods, 1929–30 to 1963–64, 1965-66 to 1973–74, and 1974–75 to 1995–96. The largest problems affect Hospitals, Independent operations, Organized research, Other sponsored programs, Extension and public service, and Scholarships and fellowships. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
