Notes:
1) According to the Federal Government's planning system 2009. Expenditure was implemented in accordance with the Federal Government's planning system 2009. Expenditure of non-university research organisations are distributed among funding areas and funding priorities. Discrepancies with regard to earlier publications are due to subsequent changes of assignments to funding areas and funding priorities or rather due to subsequent changes in the allocation to R&D. Possible rounding differences.
2) Distribution among funding areas and funding priorities partly estimated or extrapolated.
3) Adaptation of the Federal Government's planning system for funding area P "Culture, economy and society" (formerly: "Humanities; economics and social sciences") in 2021. In this process, the former funding priority PB "Social science research" was differentiated into the new funding priorities PB and PE to PJ. A retrospective breakdown is only possible to a limited extent, so data are available predominantly from 2021 onwards.
4) ACTUAL figures are needed to break down the total expenditure reduction of the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space by funding areas and funding priorities.

- = no figures or magnitude zero.
