National Science Foundation FY12 Budget Funding Highlights Provides $7.8 B for the NSF. Investments are made in areas that contribute to the President’s Plan for Science and Innovation. Savings are also created by reducing funding for low-performing and lower-priority education and research programs. Demonstrates the Administration’s commitment to R&D as a driver of economic growth, consistent with the President’s plan to double funding for key basic research agencies. Fosters the development of a clean energy economy by providing $998 million for a cross-agency sustainability research effort focused on renewable energy technologies and complex environmental- and climate-system processes. Supports job creation in advanced manufacturing and emerging technologies with significant increases for multidisciplinary research targeted at next-generation computer chips, wireless communications, and robotics technologies.

National Science Foundation FY12 Budget Funding Highlights, cont. _____________________________________________________ Invests in the growth of America’s science and technology workforce with $20 million for recruiting and retaining undergraduate students from under-represented groups. Invests in the next generation of math and science teachers with a new $20 million research and development program aimed at improving the preparation and professional development of future educators in these fields. Builds first-of-a-kind distributed research facilities to continuously monitor the Nation’s environment and oceans.

Obama Administration FY 2012 Priorities ______________________________________________________ Growing the economy and spurring job creation by America's businesses, is the top priority. 5-year freeze on all discretionary spending outside of security, but not across the board. “…we-as a Nation-must devote our resources to these fundamental areas of scientific inquiry.” Increasing investment in R&D that contributes to fields as varied as biomedicine, cyber-security, nano-technology, and advanced manufacturing. Significant investment in clean energy technology, boosting investment by 1/3rd Historic investment in repairing, rebuilding, and modernizing our transportation infrastructure. Ambitious effort to speed development of a cutting-edge, high-speed wireless data network. Double U.S. exports by 2014. 11

Important Trends

Federal Support for research In inflation-adjusted dollars, federal funding for the physical sciences has been flat for several decades This comes at a time when other nations are increasing their public investments in R&D The America Competes Act will hopefully represent a reversal of this trend.
