National Science Foundation Rankings, Brown and URI, 1972-2003

Note: NSF's research rankings are based on total expenditures on science and engineering. The figures shown here were derived by downloading total expenditures (federal, state, institutional, industrial, and other (foundations, etc.)) from NSF's WebCaspar, sorting by total, and assigning rank; the chart thus indicates where URI and Brown stood each year.
