| Abstract: | This Brief summarizes the R&D budgets for the following agencies: USDA, DOE, DOD, NASA, NSF, DOC, DOI, DOT and EPA. These agencies account for 98% of federal R&D spending. The proposed basic research budget is a 7% increase over FY2000. The increase for civilian R&D is 6.2% over last year, while the Defense R&D remained flat. A significant increase was also requested in new or existing multi-agency, multi-discipline initiatives. University based R&D would increase by 7.8%. The Federal Research Investment Act which proposes increased funding for civilian research and development by 0.3% annually to realize a total of 10 percent of the Fedeal discretionary budget by FY2010 passed the Senate on 9/22/2000. This legislation also proposes doubling the R&D funding for the 16 selected agencies included in the bill by FY2011. |
