Government budget allocations for R & D (GBARD) are all appropriations allocated to R & D funding (to all sectors) in Government sector budgets. Government sector comprises the central (federal) government, regional (state) government and local (municipal) government subsectors (R & D funding by the latter may not be included in GBARD if not deemed to be significant or if data cannot be collected). GBARD refers to budget data, from budget forecasts to actual expenditures but data collection is usually focusing on ‘Initial budget appropriations’ and ‘Final budget appropriations’.
