Re: NSF Federal Support Report Valerie Seaquist 01 Nov 2001 10:11 EST
Thank you, Brian. Our fiscal year does run October - September so we didn't think that factor would have the effect in this state that it might in others. I guess I'm just a little concerned about the usefulness of the reports to either whip us on to do better in particular areas or to toot our horn in others . . .

Our FY runs from July to June, but the feds go from Oct - Sept. Thus, in any given year, depending on when awards are made, one will be over or under the other's report level.

We are looking at the FY1999 report (the latest) and noticed on Table B-17, "Federal Obligations for Science & Engineering Research & Development (R&D to Universities & Colleges by State, Institution, and Agency"), that there are several discrepancies that we can't explain. (It is my understanding that this information is provided by the funding agency, not our university.) In one instance, the funding agency is reporting $9M less than we know we received in FY'99 and in another the agency is reporting that we received about $1.5M more than we know we received in FY'99. Enlighten is always appreciated! Thanks!
