  1. Trends and Outlook for Federal R&D: An Overview Matt Hourihan March 27, 2013 For the NAS EPSCoR Evaluation Committee AAAS R&D Budget and Policy Programhttp://www.aaas.org/spp/rd

  2. Recent History and FY14 • Current Administration: persistently strong budget requests • FY14 delayed… • General support for R&D remains in Congress (in principle) • Rhetoric; caucus activities; interest in Golden Goose Awards and similar events; some funding outcomes • EPSCoR programs / relevant offices have mostly grown • NSF, DOE Science, AFRI, Defense basic research • But not NIH or EPA S&T?

  3. Outlook • Major differences between parties in shape, role, size of gov’t • Basic v. applied research • Fiscal challenges and concerns unrelated to R&D are dragging down the discretionary ship • Restrictive fiscal environment, but a bit more flexibility? • COMPETES opportunities? • NSF and NASA seem to be larger recent funding priorities • Bottom line: growth possible, but even modest gains will be a challenge
