Default DSUM

I am using DSUM to query a database. How can I set up my formula to only pull
data that exactly matches. For instance, my criteria is "Research" and it is
pulling all data like "Research labor", Research travel", etc. I only want
it to sum "Research". Is there a way to use a "false" statement like in a
lookup?
Thanks.

In the criteria cell, enter: ="=Research"
