The Business Enterprise Research and Development Survey is a national survey that collects critical information about research and development (R&D) at businesses operating in the United States. This information is valuable to U.S. policy makers and industry and academic data users.

YOUR RESPONSE IS REQUIRED BY LAW. Title 13, United States Code, Sections 8(b), 131, and 182, and Title 42, United States Code, Sections 1861-76 (National Science Foundation Act of 1950, as amended), and Section 505 within the America COMPETES Reauthorization Act of 2010 authorize this collection. Sections 224 and 225 of Title 13 require your response. The U.S. Census Bureau is required by Section 9 of Title 13 to keep your information CONFIDENTIAL and can use your responses only to produce statistics. The Census Bureau is not permitted to publicly release your responses in a way that could identify your business, organization, or institution. Per the Federal Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2015, your data are protected from cybersecurity risks through screening of the systems that transmit your data.

THIS COLLECTION HAS BEEN APPROVED by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The eight-digit OMB approval number is 0607-0912 and appears at the upper right of this page. Without this approval, we could not conduct this survey.
