  1. CREATE-21Creating Research, Extension, and Teaching Excellencefor the 21st CenturyDecember 2006WWW.CREATE-21.ORG

  2. Situational Analysis • Between 1970 and 2005: • U.S. population grew 100 million. • U.S. GDP increased 293%. • Funding at NIH rose by $22.6 billion. • But USDA research funding grew by only 1.85% per year. • *All statistics: Constant 2000 dollars except FY ’05 NRI-NIH comparison.

  3. Situational Analysis • And, in the last 15 years: • USDA base funding for State Agriculture Experiment Stations dropped by $27 million. • Funding for Cooperative Extension Service declined by $45 million. • National Research Initiative had less funding in FY 2005 ($180 M) than 25 states each received from NIH.

  4. The Proposal • New National Institute incorporating current USDA research, education, and extension agencies and programs, including ARS, CSREES, ERS, and Forest Service R&D. • An integrated organization with enhanced intramural, university-based, and competitive programs.

  5. The Proposal • The Institute will be… • An independent agency reporting to the USDA Secretary. • Led by an eminent scientist and/or educator appointed by President and confirmed for a six-year term. • Guided by a National Stakeholder Advisory Council.

  6. The Proposal • The Institute will… • Increase organizational flexibility. • Improve budgetary efficiency. • Enhance program integration. • Boost stakeholder involvement. • Be authorized to receive enhanced competitive grant funding (and continued capacity funding).

  7. The Proposal • Institute organized initially aroundsix problem-solution areas: • Increase economic opportunities in agriculture and natural resources. • Improve human nutrition and health. • Support rural and urban community development.

  8. The Proposal • Institute organized initially aroundsix problem-solution areas: • Protect America’s natural resource base and environment. • Enhance safety and security of U.S. agriculture and food supply. • Ensure family, youth, and community success.

  9. The Proposal CSREES Current Situation: Coordination ARS/ERS USFS R&D

  10. The Proposal Future Situation: Integration University-Based Intramural(ARS, ERS, USFS) Competitive

  11. Enhanced Funding • Annual appropriations now ≈ $2.7 B • Authorization would grow over seven years to $5.3 B • $1.0 B in new fundamental research funds (competitively awarded) • $843 M in new integrated funding(including Extension and teaching) • $803 M in new capacity (intramural and land-grant “base” funds)

  12. Enhanced Funding • A more balanced portfolio: • Current distribution: • Capacity 90% • Competitive 10% • Distribution after CREATE-21fully implemented: • Capacity 58% • Competitive 42%

  13. Effect on 1994 Funding • More growth while protecting current funding: • All current 1994 programs protected in Capacity category. • New funding opportunities in Enhancement categories. • 20% set-asides for 1994s, 1890s, insulars, & small 1862s.

  14. Discussion Draft! Capacity/Competitive Currently 90%-10% After 7 years 58%-42% 30% 70% 55% 45% Enhanced competitive pool is comprised of 1890’s, 1994’s and Small 1862’s 1st number in each box represents the FY2006 Actual Baseline. 2nd number represents what the growth could be at the end of 7 years should 100% of authorized funds be appropriated. Allocation of growth is at 70% Competitive and 30% Capacity ratios. As is the case now, all funds are subject to appropriations. All amounts are x $1,000. All Capacity program authorizations are CONTINUED, no reduction contemplated!

  15. New Competitive Funding Competitive Research FY06 Base + 70%* of new money ($252 million + 70% new money) Basic Agric. Research (55 % of funds available) Applied Agric. Research (45% of funds available) 20% set-aside for 1994, 1890, Insular & Small 1862 20% set-aside for 1994, 1890, Insular & Small 1862

  16. Conclusion • Integrated organization will be more flexible, relevant, and responsive to the needs of stakeholders, including 1994s. • Current 1994 programs protected. • New funding opportunities for 1994s, particularly in areas of research.
