    The Census Bureau invites public comment by August 27, 2021 on the draft Business Enterprise Research and Development Survey (BERD) for the 2021-2023 survey years.
     
    The U.S. Census Bureau, with support from the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) within the National Science Foundation, plans to conduct the Business Enterprise Research and Development Survey (BERD) for the 2021-2023 survey years. BERD covers all domestic, non-farm, for-profit businesses with at least 10 paid employees. BERD provides the only comprehensive national data on Research and Development (R&D) costs and detailed expenses by type and industry. The Census Bureau has conducted an R&D survey since 1957, collecting primarily financial information on the systematic work companies undertake to discover new knowledge or use existing knowledge to develop new or improved goods and services.

    N = 47,500 companies, stratified by industry

    The 2021-2023 BERD will continue to collect the following types of information:
    • R&D expense based on accepted accounting standards.
    • Worldwide R&D of domestic companies.
    • Business segment detail.
    • R&D-related capital expenditures.
    • Detailed data about the R&D workforce.
    • R&D strategy and data on the potential impact of R&D on the market.
    • R&D directed to application areas of particular national interest.
    • Data measuring intellectual property protection activities and technology transfer.
