I'm trying to track down a statistic for a story I'm writing
for FSU's research magazine on technology transfer. Can any
of you help me find information regarding the amount of total
U.S. R&D made up by university-based research? Is it expressed
anywhere in terms of a percentage? I've been asked to include
this info. in my story and would appreciate any help you could
give in finding it.

Thank you in advance
