D = data withheld to avoid disclosing operations of individual companies.

^aStatistics are based on companies in the United States that reported to the survey, regardless of whether they did or did not perform or fund R&D. These statistics do not include an adjustment to the weight to account for unit nonresponse.

^bUpper bound based on U.S. Small Business Administration's definition of a small business; BRDIS does not include companies with fewer than 5 domestic employees. NAICS = 2007 North American Industry Classification System.
NOTES: Detail may not add to total because of rounding. Industry classification based on dominant business code for domestic R&D performance where available. For companies that did not report business codes, classification used for sampling was assigned. Sum of yes and no percentages may not add to 100% due to item nonresponse to some innovation question items. The full set of detailed statistical tables from the 2011 BRDIS will be available in Business R&D and Innovation: 2011 scheduled for release in 2014. Innovation statistics are found in Tables 46-49. Relative standard errors for each cell in those tables are available from NCSES upon request. Selected final statistics are summarized in NCSES’s InfoBrief: “Business R&D Performance in the United States Increased in 2011” (NSF 13-335) at http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/infbrief/nsf13335.
