Research and Development
The ABS has been undertaking surveys to collect estimates from Australian organisations of R&D expenditure and human resources devoted to R&D in Australia since 1978. The results allow the nature and distribution of Australia's R&D activity to be monitored by government policy analysts and advisers to government, businesses and economists.
There are four Research & Development surveys:
- R&D Business survey, conducted annually
- R&D Higher Education survey, conducted biennially by the ABS since 1994; in 1990 and 1992 it was collected by Department of Employment, Education, Training and Youth Affairs
- R&D General Government survey, conducted biennially
- R&D Private Non-profit Sector survey, conducted biennially

Famous quotes containing the words research and/or development:
“Feeling that you have to be the perfect parent places a tremendous and completely unnecessary burden on you. If we’ve learned anything from the past half-century’s research on child development, it’s that children are remarkably resilient. You can make lots of mistakes and still wind up with great kids.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“Men are only as good as their technical development allows them to be.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
