Missing or inaccurate information: The data obtained from usaspending.gov include many instances where a field is missing (e.g., a blank entry for the address of a recipient organization) or data are inaccurate (e.g., identifier for institution type, such as institution of higher education, includes some organizations that are not actually institutions of higher education)

The initial data pull selected the following filter: • Fiscal years: 2010–2020 • Awarding agency: Department of Defense (DoD) • Recipient type: Higher education However, the resulting data contained transactions associated with institutions that were not institutions of higher education and were missing transactions for institutions of higher education that other sources indicated had received DoD grants or contracts in the same time period.

IPEDS institutional characteristics 7 were used to consolidate recipient organization names and link the transaction dataset to other supplementary datasets. IPEDS institutional characteristics included the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS)

F Rutgers Center for Minority Serving Institutions Directory of Institutions The Rutgers Minority Serving Institutions directory, 9 based on 2020 data from the Department of Education, was used to categorize institutions of higher education that were not already labeled as either MIs or HBCUs using the committee-provided list.

Any institutions that were not assigned a label after consulting the committee-provided list were assigned a label of MSI if they were present in the Rutgers Center for Minority Serving Institutions' MSI directory, or a label of "other" if they were not present in either list. 1 For example, https://www.cto.mil/2020-muri/ 2 https://media.defense.gov/2020/Dec/01/2002543787/-1/-1/0/FY21-DURIP-SELECTIONS-FOR-PRESS-RELEASEFINAL-20-NOV.PDF 277 PREPUBLICATION COPY -- Uncorrected Proofs

A convenience method was used to make a comparison group for the the top 25 HBCUs in DoD funding. In particular, for each level of Carnegie classification, a median value for number of R&D personnel, R&D graduate students, and the average number of R&D principal investigators was computed based on institutions in each of the 2nd and 3rd quartiles of the total amount of DoD funding in FY 2010 through FY 2020.

The transaction dataset from usaspending.gov does not provide information that is specific enough to identify which institution of higher education–affiliated legal entity was responsible for obtaining an award. Furthermore, there is no mention of known university-affiliated research centers or centers of excellence in the project description or any other column of the data, making it difficult to pinpoint the influence that these types of legal entities have on the institution of higher education funding process.
