Most FY 2007 Research Facilities Survey data will be identified for individual institutions. Identifying individual institutional data is standard policy for NSF’s research and development surveys, and will permit you to compare your institution’s data with other institutions’ data. Responses on two topics will not be publicly available for individual institutions because of their sensitive nature. These confidential data are: all responses concerning animal space (Question 1 row i, and questions 3, 7, 8, 10, 12F, 15, 18, 21, and 24) and reports on the condition of research space (Question 6).

Changes from previous survey cycle

• Fields of science and engineering (S&E)

Changes have been made to some field names, the order in which fields are listed in survey questions, and the disciplines included in some fields. For a description of the fields of S&E, see Question 2 on pages 5-7 or the crosswalk of NSF fields of S&E to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) 2000 Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP 2000) on pages 29-30.

• Definition of a medical school

The definition of medical school has been expanded to include schools that award the M.D. or D.O. degree.

• Leased space

The question asking for the amount of leased space has been deleted.

• Deferred projects

The questions on deferred repairs and renovations and deferred new construction are now limited to projects whose prorated cost is estimated to be $250,000 or more for at least one field of S&E.

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.

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

Research space includes:

• controlled-environment space, such as clean, cold, or white rooms

• technical and laboratory support space, such as equipment areas, preparation areas, darkrooms, carpentry and machine shops, storage areas, etc.

• laboratories, including computer labs, behavior observation rooms, etc.

• core laboratories that serve other laboratories

• laboratories and associated support areas used for research animals, including procedure rooms, bench space, animal production colonies, holding rooms, germ-free rooms, surgical facilities, recovery rooms, etc.

• housing facilities for research animals and associated maintenance areas, including cage rooms, stalls, wards, isolation rooms, exercise rooms, feed storage rooms, cage-washing rooms, holding and storage areas, etc.

• space for clinical trial research

• offices, to the extent that they are used for research activities, including administrative activities for a specific research project

• space with fixed (built-in) equipment such as fume hoods

• space with nonfixed equipment costing $1 million or more each, such as MRIs

• space that is leased by your institution

Research space does not include:

• space for the fields of law, business administration/management, humanities, history, the arts, or education

• libraries, unless they are dedicated to a specific research project

• animal field buildings sheltering animals that do not directly support research or that are not subject to government regulations concerning humane care and use of laboratory animals

• Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs)

• in-kind space used by your faculty, staff, or other persons but administered by other organizations, such as research facilities at non-university hospitals or Veterans Administration hospitals

• space administered by your institution but leased to another organization

• outdoor areas such as fish ponds or planting fields

Question 2: Amount of research space

2. At the end of your FY 2007, how much net assignable square feet was used for research (based on the definition of research space on page 2) for each of the fields of science and engineering (S&E) below? Please include any research animal space in the relevant fields of S&E. You may provide estimates if you do not have exact figures.

Research space is equivalent to functional category 2 (Research) for facilities inventory systems based on the U.S. Department of Education classification (FICM classification), the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE classification), and the National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO classification).

Research animal space includes all departmental and central facilities, such as laboratories, housing, and associated support areas, that are subject to local, state, and federal government policies and regulations concerning humane care and use of laboratory animals.

If research space was shared among fields or used for other purposes in addition to research, report the portion of space used for research for each field below. For example, if two fields shared the space equally, report half of the space in one field and half in the other. Or, if an area was used for research one-fourth of the time and for other purposes the rest of the time, report one-fourth of the space as research space.

Question 9: Repairs and renovations started in FY 2006 and FY 2007

9. Please provide the completion costs for repair and renovation of S&E research facilities that started during your
   FY 2006 or FY 2007. 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
projects, check this box and go to Question 12

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

Question 12: New construction started in FY 2006 and FY 2007

12. Please provide the total number of new construction projects that included S&E research facilities that started during your FY 2006 or FY 2007. 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 page 2 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 14: Planned repairs and renovations to start in FY 2008 and FY 2009

14. Please provide the estimated completion costs planned for repair and renovation of S&E research facilities that are funded and scheduled to start in your FY 2008 or FY 2009. 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 is scheduled to begin.

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 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. 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 planned repair or renovation projects, check this box and go to Question 17
