R&D budget

Research spending allocation

R&D budget refers to the funds an organization allocates for research and development—the activities aimed at creating new products, improving existing ones, or advancing technical knowledge.

Companies report R&D budgets as a measure of their commitment to innovation: The pharmaceutical company doubled its R&D budget after promising trial results.

In financial analysis, R&D spending as a percentage of revenue indicates how aggressively a company invests in its future.
