About 80 % of U.S. nonprofit organizations ’ research and development ( R&D ) performance was accounted for by nine states and the District of Columbia in FY 2020. By this measure, R&D was more concentrated geographically among nonprofits than among for-profit businesses and institutions of higher education in 2020. Data are from the Nonprofit Research Activities FY 2020 module of the 2021 Annual Business Survey, conducted by the Census Bureau for the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics within the National Science Foundation.
