Line 29 asks to enter qualified research expenses for 3 prior tax years

No help in instructions. Surely this can't mean to report expenses claimed in prior years??

The government instructions give a bit more of an expanded description:

Line 29
Enter your qualified research expenses for the prior 3 tax
years. If the credit terminates during the tax year, prorate the
qualified research expenses for the prior 3 tax years for the
number of days the credit applied during the tax year.
