Confidentiality

Information provided on research animal space (Questions 1 row i, 3, and 10F) and on the condition of S&E space (Question 7) will not be publicly available for individual institutions. In accordance with the National Science Foundation Act of 1950, as amended, and other applicable federal laws, your responses will not be disclosed in identifiable form to anyone other than agency employees or authorized persons. Per the Federal Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2015, your data are protected from cybersecurity risks through screening of the systems that transmit your data.

Changes from previous survey cycle

• Definition of Research has been updated to align the definition with the NSF Higher Education R&D survey. This definition mirrors the definition provided in the Frascati Manual 2015, an international document published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development that provides guidelines for collecting and reporting data on R&D. This update is not intended to alter the definition of space to be reported.

• Fields of science and engineering (S&E): The disciplines of “Fishing and fisheries sciences and management” and “Forestry” have been moved from the S&E Field of Agricultural sciences to Natural resources and conservation in order to better coordinate field totals in national academic surveys.

• Question 6: A new question about shared research space has been added. The goal of this question is to understand whether the space reported in question 2 is shared among fields or used for other purposes in addition to research.

• New construction project start date: A more specific definition for start date has been provided. This is expected to make reporting of projects by fiscal year more consistent, which may help eliminate duplicate reports across cycles (Questions 10, 10B, and 14).

• New construction completion costs: A sentence has been added to the definition to clarify that completion costs should be reported whether they occur before or after the project start date (Questions 10, 10D, and 14).

• A reminder note has been added to the bottom of the “Individual Project Form for Question 10” indicating that a survey help desk is available.

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 research and experimental development (R&D) activities of your institution that are separately accounted for. These R&D activities comprise creative and systematic work undertaken in order to increase the stock of knowledge—including knowledge of humankind, culture and society—and to devise new applications of available knowledge. This research can be funded by your own institution, the federal government, a state government, foundations, corporations, or other sources.

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 8: Repairs and renovations started in FY 2016 and FY 2017

8. Please provide the completion costs for repair and renovation of S&E research facilities that started during your FY 2016 or FY 2017. 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.

included in Question 8 (If none, enter “0.”) $ _____________

Question 10: New construction started in FY 2016 and FY 2017

10. Please provide the total number of new construction projects that included S&E research facilities that started during your FY 2016 or FY 2017. 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.

Project start date is defined as the first placement of permanent construction of a building or addition on site, such as the pouring of a slab or footing, the installation of piles, the construction of columns or any work beyond the stage of excavation. When determining project start date, please exclude planning, demolition, or other site preparation work.

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. Include such costs whether they occur before or after the project start date.

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: Planned repairs and renovations to start in FY 2018 and FY 2019

12. 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 2018 or FY 2019. 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 14

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

Question 14: Planned new construction to start in FY 2018 and FY 2019

14. 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 2018 or FY 2019. 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.

Project start date is defined as the first placement of permanent construction of a building or addition on site, such as the pouring of a slab or footing, the installation of piles, the construction of columns or any work beyond the stage of excavation. When determining project start date, please exclude planning, demolition, or other site preparation work.

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. Include such costs whether they occur before or after the project start date.

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.
