The expenditure information presented in the 1993 OSU Research Report is
prepared on the accrual basis. Cost share, underrecovery of indirect costs,
recovered indirect costs, plant fund expenditures, and project expenditures for
Research are included in the categories State (General Support), private
Sponsors, Federal Sponsors, State Sponsors, and Federal Appropriations. The
same information is included for Instruction and Extension and Public Service,
but the funding source is not presented. All cost share and underrecovery of
indirect costs are included in State (General Support).
The 1993 OSU Research Report gives one presentation of the expenditure data. The audited financial statements give the presentation according to AICPA guidelines. The annual National Science Foundation Report includes categories for science as defined by the National Science Foundation and gives another presentation. All the data presented in these reports are correct, but the total figures will be different because each report has a different scope.
