  2. Defense R&D: Recent Decline • DOD: $69.5b (-7%) • Boost for basic, everything else cut • Homeland Security: National Bio and Agro-defense Facility getting built • Otherwise, DHS is flat following recent growth

  3. General Science: Growth Area • NSF: $6.3B for R&D (+9%) • 10-year Trend: +21.9% • Broad investment, especially Engineering, BIO, SBE • Key focus on broad innovation programs • STEM hub • DOE Science: $4.6B for R&D (+6%) • 10-year trend: 18.1% • Growth everywhere but High Energy Physics • BER: +6% (foundational genome science)

  4. NIH: Continued Stagnation • 10-year trend: -10% • Only notable boosts: NCATS, National Institute for Aging, NLM • BRAIN Initiative ($40 million) • Details forthcoming • Big data ($41 million) • Concern: Basic / applied split?

  5. Next steps… • The BIG question: resolving differences over discretionary spending • How does Congress fit a $1057 billion budget into a $966 billion hole? • Further details on STEM strategy • Consolidation/reduction plus spending boost (DOEd, Smithsonian, NSF) • COMPETES
