• Reinstated question on Intellectual
Property Protection in Section 7 which
had been collected in previous years.
From 2008–2015, the BRDIS collected
R&D and innovation data from
companies with five or more employees.
In 2016, the BRDIS collected R&D and
innovation data from companies with at
least one paid employee. Beginning
with the 2017 survey (collected in
2018), the BRDS will no longer collect
innovation data, and only companies
with at least 10 paid employees will be
in scope. The Census Bureau will
continue to collect R&D data from
companies with fewer than 10
employees, and innovation data from all
companies, however, beginning in 2017,
these data will be collected on a new
survey, the Annual Business Survey.
Accordingly, we are also changing the
name of the collection to the Business
Research and Development Survey—
dropping Innovation (BRDS).
Information from the BRDS will
continue to support the America
COMPETES Reauthorization Act of 2010
as well as other R&D-related initiatives
introduced during the clearance period.
Other initiatives that have used BRDS
statistics include: The Science of
Science and Innovation Policy (NSF);
and Rising Above the Gathering Storm
(National Research Council).
Policy officials from many Federal
agencies rely on these statistics for
essential information. Businesses and
trade organizations rely on BRDS data to
benchmark their industry’s performance
against others. For example, total U.S.
R&D expenditures statistics have been
used by the Bureau of Economic
Analysis (BEA) to update the National
Income and Product Accounts (NIPAs)
and, in fact, the BEA recently has
recognized and incorporated R&D as
fixed investment in the NIPA. Accurate
R&D data are needed to continue the
development and effect subsequent
updates to this detailed satellite
account. Also, NSF, BEA and the
Census Bureau periodically update a
data linking project that utilizes BRDS
data to augment global R&D investment
information that is obtained from BEA’s
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and
U.S. Direct Investment Abroad (USDIA)
surveys. Further, the Census Bureau
links data collected by BRDS with other
statistical files. At the Census Bureau,
historical company-level R&D data are
linked to a file that contains information
on the outputs and inputs of companies’
manufacturing plants. Researchers are
able to analyze the relationships
between R&D funding and other
economic variables by using micro-level
data.

Individuals and organizations access
the survey statistics via the Internet in
annual InfoBriefs published by NSF’s
National Center for Science and
Engineering Statistics (NCSES) that
announce the availability of statistics
from each cycle of BRDS and detailed
statistical table reports that contain all
of the statistics NSF produces from
BRDS. Information about the kinds of
projects that rely on statistics from
BRDS is available from internal records
of NSF’s NCSES. In addition, survey
statistics are regularly cited in trade
publications and many researchers use
the survey statistics from these
secondary sources without directly
contacting NSF or the Census Bureau.
