Authoritative institution-level research expenditures from the NSF HERD survey(each university reports its whole-campus R&D, so Georgia Tech’s figure already includes GTRI). This is the full federal picture across all agencies — the breadth beyond the per-person NIH+NSF grants — and it reveals sharply different funding profiles: Georgia Tech runs on Defense dollars, while UGA and Georgia State run on NIH.

Source: NSF NCSES Higher Education Research & Development (HERD) survey, Table “federally financed R&D expenditures by agency”, FY2019–FY2024(the reliable published window; the table’s number drifts across years and is auto-discovered on harvest). Figures are expenditures (money spent that year), self-reported by each institution for its entire campus — a different measure from the per-person grant awards on the grants page (which are obligations booked to a lead PI), so the two are complementary and not directly summable. HHS is shown as the parent of NIH. See ADR-015.
