NCSES Creates Web Data Tool for Science & Engineering State Profiles

The National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics of the National Science Foundation has released a new web-based data tool for Science and Engineering State Profiles.  The tool contains data from 2003–09 and allows users to generate science and engineering profiles that summarize state-specific data on personnel and finances.  The State Profiles data tool can display a single state’s profile or a profile containing up to 10 states.
