What is Research and Development (R&D)?
Research and development (R&D) comprise creative and systematic work undertaken in order to increase
the stock of knowledge and to devise new applications of available knowledge. This includes a) activities
aimed at acquiring new knowledge or understanding without specific immediate commercial applications
or uses (basic research); b) activities aimed at solving a specific problem or meeting a specific commercial
objective (applied research); and c) systematic work, drawing on research and practical experience and
resulting in additional knowledge, which is directed to producing new products or processes or to
improving existing products or processes (development). R&D includes both direct costs such as salaries
of researchers as well as administrative and overhead costs clearly associated with the company’s R&D.
The term R&D does NOT include expenditures for:
• Costs for routine product testing, quality control, and technical services unless they are an integral
part of an R&D project
• Market research
• Efficiency surveys or management studies
• Literary, artistic, or historical projects, such as films, music, or books and other publications
• Prospecting or exploration for natural resources
Does R&D include development of software and Internet applications?
Research and development activity in software and Internet applications refers only to activities with
an element of uncertainty and that are intended to close knowledge gaps and meet scientific and
technological needs. Report in this survey all software R&D as defined here regardless of the eventual
user (internal or external).
R&D activity in software INCLUDES:
• Software development or improvement activities that expand scientific or technological knowledge
• Construction of new theories and algorithms in the field of computer science
R&D activity in software EXCLUDES:
• Software development that does not depend on a scientific or technological advance, such as
• supporting or adapting existing systems
• adding functionality to existing application programs, and
• routine debugging of existing systems and software
• Creation of new software based on known methods and applications
• Conversion or translation of existing software and software languages
• Adaptation of a product to a specific client, unless knowledge that significantly improved the base
program was added in that process
Reporting unit
The reporting unit is your company, including all subsidiaries and divisions regardless of location.
Include only subsidiary companies where there is more than 50 percent ownership. If you are owned
by a foreign parent, the reporting unit for the survey is your U.S.-located company, including all your
majority-owned subsidiaries and divisions regardless of location. For reporting purposes, your foreign
parent and any foreign affiliates your company does not own should be treated the same as any
business partner, customer, or supplier you do not own.
Reporting period
Report data for the calendar year 2016, if possible, or for your company’s fiscal year ending between
April 2016 and March 2017.
Estimates are acceptable
