INTRODUCTION
The Inventory of Agricultural Research is a collection of statistical tables compiled annually since
1966 on research conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), State
Agricultural Experiment Stations (SAES), Forestry Schools, Colleges of 1890 and Tuskegee
University, Colleges of Veterinary Medicine, and other institutions. The tables were designed to
assist persons who carry out the "joint research program planning, evaluation, and coordination"
recommended in the long-range study, A National Program of Research for Agriculture,
published in October 1966. Input data is provided to the Current Research Information System
(CRIS) by USDA Research Agencies on Forms AD-416, AD-417, and AD-418, and by State
Agricultural Experiment Stations and other institutions on Forms AD-416, AD-417, and AD-419
(see Table of Contents).
From 1968 through 1981, the Inventory was published in three-volume sets. Publication of
Volume I was discontinued in 1982. Volumes II and III were combined into a single volume in
1983.
Tables in the II series show scientist years and funds for USDA agencies and SAES et al.
Tables in the III series show funding data for USDA research by source of funds. Tables in the
IV series show funding data for SAES et al. by source of funds.
The ll-B, lll-B, and IV-B Tables show a breakdown of the data by the commodity classification
used in the long-range study. The ll-D, lll-D, and IV-D Tables show data for each of the 98
Research Problem Areas (RPA) used in the long-range study. The lll-E and IV-E Tables
provide summaries of funds and scientist years by agency or station/institution.
Table V shows scientist years by Research Program Group (RPG) and Research Program
(RP). RPs and RPGs are made up of unique combinations determined by type of research
(agricultural or forestry), activity, commodity, and Research Problem Area (RPA) classification.
Starting with Fiscal Year 1993, Inventory Tables V-C & V-B are provided only for National and
Regional Summaries. Country/State summaries, included in previous editions of the Inventory,
may be requested from the CRIS office.
All funds appearing in this volume are gross figures. This means that funds not allocated to
specific research projects, but considered to be an integral part of the cost of doing research,
are prorated to the appropriate research projects. The nature and amount of funds not
allocated to projects vary among the stations and USDA agencies. Non-allocated funds usually
include costs for administration, supervision, and personnel and financial services. They may
also include publications and statistical services, rent, operation of research farms, and other
expenditures that relate to several or all projects. Prior to Fiscal Year 1972, Tables III and IV
reflected net funds.
Starting with Fiscal Year 1982, all inventory tables include data from cooperating Schools of
Veterinary Medicine. Starting with Fiscal Year 1986, funds provided by the Agency for
International Development (AID) are included with Other Federal Funds in Series II, III and IV
Tables.
Funds and staff support for a number of Forestry Schools and Schools of Veterinary Medicine
