  1. The FY 2015 Request: Review and Context Matt Hourihan April 4, 2014 for the Congressional Research and Development Caucus AAAS R&D Budget and Policy Programhttp://www.aaas.org/spp/rd

  2. Administration R&D Priorities • Department of Energy: NNSA, renewables and efficiency, ARPA-E • Neuroscience • NASA: industry partnerships • Transportation: highways and high-performance rail • Extramural ag research • Advanced Manufacturing • Environmental research? • COMPETES Agencies: $11 billion for R&D (+1% from FY14) • Treading water • Research budget hit? • (not really)

  3. Defense R&D • DOD S&T cut almost across the board • -10.3%, pre-9/11 levels • Except DARPA (+5%) • Biodefense, tactical technology, space systems, networks and datasets, sensor tech • National Nuclear Security Admin • +14%, ~2004 levels • Science campaign + computing; naval reactor development

  4. General Science R&D • NSFflat • 10-year trend: +13% • Neuroscience, I-Corps, SBIR, NCSES • DOE Science: +1% • 10-year trend: +16% • Cuts to Fusion/ITER, High-Energy Physics • Largest boosts: ASCR (high performance computing), BES (user facilities and construction)

  5. National Institutes of Health • +0.7% • 10-year trend -12% • BRAIN Initiative to double • Another ARPA? • Translational science, mental health, big data • Success rate: 17.4%

  6. Other Items of Note • Energy Technology Programs • EERE, ARPA-E growing; ~15% cuts to fossil energy R&D • NASA • Big boosts for Space Technology Directorate, commercial crew programs • Smaller boost for heliophysics • USDA: Extramural research boost, but not intramural • Three new “innovation institutes” ($25m each) • Interagency initiatives flat or declining

  7. OGSI: What’s in it? • NIH: $970 million ($280m for RPGs) • NASA: $886 million • Largest shares for Exploration, Science, Space Tech • NSF: $552 million • USDA: $356 million (Poultry research, AFRI) • Commerce: $180m for NOAA, $115m for NIST • USGS: $75m for R&D • Transportation: $186m for FAA (NextGen) • DOD: $2.1 billion for R&D • DOE: upwards of $1 billion…?

  8. What it all adds up to…
