Definition of science and engineering (S&E) research and research space

Please use these definitions when answering all questions in this survey.

Research is all sponsored research and development activities of your institution that are separately budgeted and
accounted for. Research can be funded by your own institution, the federal government, a state government, foundations, corporations, or other sources. It does not include departmental research that is not separately budgeted.

Research space is the net assignable square feet of space in buildings within which research activities take place.
Research facilities are located within buildings. A building is a roofed structure for permanent or temporary shelter of
persons, animals, plants, materials, or equipment. Structures should be included if they are (1) attached to a foundation,
(2) roofed, (3) serviced by a utility, exclusive of lighting, and (4) a source of significant maintenance and repair activities.

Net assignable square feet (NASF) is the sum of all areas on all floors of a building assigned to, or available to be
assigned to, an occupant for a specific use, such as research or instruction. NASF is measured from the inside faces of
walls.

Science and engineering (S&E) includes the following fields: agricultural sciences and natural resources sciences,
biological and biomedical sciences, computer and information sciences, engineering, health and clinical sciences,
mathematics and statistics, physical sciences, psychology, social sciences, and other science and engineering fields. See Question 2 on pages 5–7 for a detailed list of the disciplines included in each of these fields.

Question 7: Repairs and renovations started in FY 2010 and FY 2011

7. Please provide the completion costs for repair and renovation of S&E research facilities that started during your FY 2010 or FY 2011. Include research animal space in the relevant fields of S&E. Include only projects whose prorated cost was estimated to be $250,000 or more for at least one field of S&E listed below. For multi-year projects, report the entire completion cost even if some work will occur in future years.

Start date is the date on which the physical work of the repairs or renovations actually began.

Repairs and renovations are activities such as fixing up facilities in deteriorated condition, capital improvements on facilities, conversion of facilities, and the building out of shell space. Include any repairs or renovations to existing space that are performed in combination with new construction projects. Do not report building additions since they are reported in this survey under new construction.

Completion costs include planning, site preparation, construction, fixed equipment, nonfixed equipment that costs $1 million or more, and building infrastructure such as plumbing, lighting, air exchange, and safety systems either in the building or within 5 feet of the building foundation.

If research facilities are shared by two or more fields, allocate the appropriate share of the costs to each field in order to determine which fields to report. For example, if a field will have one-fourth of the costs for a $300,000 project, do not report that field’s share, which is $75,000. If a $400,000 project will have two fields with the same costs, do not report either field’s portion, which is $200,000 each.

If research facilities are also used for nonresearch activities, report the S&E research portion of the costs for the fields listed below if the research portion is $250,000 or more. For example, if a facility is used for S&E research one-fourth of the time and for instruction the rest of the time, report one-fourth of the completion costs for S&E research facilities.

If your institution had no repair or renovation

Question 9: New construction started in FY 2010 and FY 2011

9. Please provide the total number of new construction projects that included S&E research facilities that started during your FY 2010 or FY 2011. Include only projects whose prorated cost was estimated to be $250,000 or more for at least one field of S&E. Include research animal space in the relevant fields of S&E.

New construction is the construction of a new building or additions to an existing building.

Research facilities are defined on pages 2–3 of the survey questionnaire.

Start date is the date on which the physical work of the construction actually began.

Completion costs include planning, site preparation, construction, fixed equipment, nonfixed equipment that costs
$1 million or more, and building infrastructure such as plumbing, lighting, air exchange, and safety systems either in the building or within 5 feet of the building foundation.

If facilities are shared for research and nonresearch activities, report only projects with completion costs of $250,000 or more for at least one field of S&E research. For example, if a $300,000 project involves space used for research only one-fourth of the time, this project of $75,000 for the research facilities should not be reported.

If facilities are shared by two or more fields of S&E, report the new construction project only if at least one field of S&E research has completion costs of $250,000 or more. For example, if two fields share the costs equally for a research project costing $400,000, neither field’s share of $200,000 meets the cost minimum.

Question 12: For medical schools only: planned repairs and renovations in FY 2012 and

^{FY 2013}

12. If your institution has a medical school, how much of the completion costs for planned repair and renovation of research facilities as reported in Question 11 will be located in the medical school?

Medical school is a school that awards the M.D. or D.O. degree.

If your institution does not have a medical

school, check this box and go to Question 13

included in Question 11 (If none, enter “0.”) $ _____________

Question 13: Planned new construction to start in FY 2012 and FY 2013

13. Please provide the estimated completion costs and NASF for planned new construction of S&E research facilities that are funded and scheduled to start in your FY 2012 or FY 2013. Include research animal space in the relevant fields of S&E. Include only projects whose prorated cost was estimated to be $250,000 or more for at least one field of S&E listed below. For multi-year projects, report the entire completion cost even if some work will occur in future years.

Start date is the date on which the physical work of the construction is scheduled to begin.

New construction is the construction of a new building or additions to an existing building.

Completion costs include planning, site preparation, construction, fixed equipment, nonfixed equipment that costs
$1 million or more, and building infrastructure such as plumbing, lighting, air exchange, and safety systems either in the building or within 5 feet of the building foundation.

If research facilities are shared by two or more fields, allocate the appropriate share of the costs to each field in order to determine which fields to report. For example, if a field will have one-fourth of the costs for a $300,000 project, do not report that field’s share, which is $75,000. If a $400,000 project will have two fields with the same costs, do not report either field’s portion, which is $200,000 each.

If research facilities are also used for nonresearch activities, report the S&E research portion of the costs and net assignable square feet for the fields listed below if the research portion is $250,000 or more. For example, if a facility will be used for S&E research one-fourth of the time and for instruction the rest of the time, report one-fourth of the completion costs for S&E research facilities.

If your institution does not have any planned new
construction projects, check this box and go to Question 15

For Field of S&E definitions, see Question 2 on pages 5–7.

Question 15: Deferred repairs and renovations

15. Please provide the estimated costs for any deferred repair and renovation projects of S&E research facilities that are needed for current research program commitments, but are not yet funded and not yet scheduled to start in your FY 2012 or FY 2013. Include research animal space in the relevant fields of S&E. Include only projects whose prorated cost was estimated to be $250,000 or more for at least one field of S&E listed below. Please estimate costs separately for projects included in your approved institutional plan and projects not included in this plan. Institutional plans usually will include goals, strategies, and budgets for fulfilling your institution’s mission during a specific time period.

Deferred projects are those that: (1) are not funded, and (2) are not scheduled for FY 2012 or FY 2013. Do not include projects planned for developing new programs or expanding your current programs.

Repairs and renovations are activities such as fixing up facilities in deteriorated condition, capital improvements on facilities, conversion of facilities, and the building out of shell space. Include any repairs or renovations to existing space that are performed in combination with new construction projects. Do not report building additions since they are reported in this survey under new construction.

Current research program commitments include current faculty and staff or those to whom offers have been made or grants awarded (whether or not research has actually begun) and programs which have been approved.

If research facilities will be shared by two or more fields, allocate the appropriate share of the costs to each field in order to determine which fields to report. For example, if a field will have one-fourth of the costs for a $300,000 project, do not report that field’s share, which is $75,000. If a $400,000 project will have two fields with the same costs, do not report either field’s portion, which is $200,000 each.

If research facilities will also be used for nonresearch activities, report the S&E research portion of the costs for the fields listed below if the research portion is $250,000 or more.
