Compare institutions
Everything this project knows about an institution, on one row and one key. Degrees and their non-resident shares at both levels, graduate enrolment, the federal research money that reaches it, and what it charges a graduate student from outside the state. Sort on any column, filter to a state or a sector, or switch to the state view to add institutions up.
The rows are joined on the IPEDS unit identifier rather than on the institution’s name. That matters more than it sounds: the two federal research surveys publish names and no identifier, and matching those by similarity puts Florida A&M’s money in the University of Florida’s row. Names here are resolved exactly or not at all.
Every institution, every measure
Sorting a column puts institutions with no data for it last in both directions, because a blank is “not surveyed” and would otherwise crowd the top of any ascending sort.

What a row does not mean
None of this is money broken down by citizenship, because no federal agency publishes it that way. IPEDS reports tuition revenue without regard to who paid it and the NSF reports obligations without regard to who they train. A large federal figure sitting beside a large non-resident share is two things measured in the same place, not a payment from one to the other.
Federal per doctorate is an intensity ratio, not a price. Those obligations fund research whose outputs include papers, instruments, facilities and staff, not only degrees. The column shows the scale of public research money moving through an institution relative to the doctorates it produces. It does not establish that the public paid that sum for any particular degree — and at the top of that ranking sit medical schools, where the money funds clinical research and the doctorates counted are a fraction of the degrees awarded. The two columns beside it say how large a fraction.
Non-resident is a visa category, not a birthplace. A naturalised citizen or a permanent resident is counted as domestic throughout, so every share here is a floor on the foreign-born proportion, never a ceiling.
Coverage is uneven and the table says so rather than filling gaps with zeroes. A blank federal column means the institution was not in the survey, not that it received nothing.
