1. R&D in the FY 2016 Budget Request Matt Hourihan March 23, 2015 for the Congressional R&D Caucus AAAS R&D Budget and Policy Program http://www.aaas.org/program/rd-budget-and-policy-program http://www.aaas.org/program/rd-budget-and-policy-program

5. Compared to the rest of the OECD, the U.S.… is a university juggernaut (thanks to scale) is a leader in quality publications (thanks to scale) is somewhat more oriented around public lab funding is far more oriented around defense R&D is around OECD median in university/lab patenting dollar for dollar Features relatively more intense industrial R&D, industry dynamism Generally has a more positive view of the contributions of S&T

18. Major Funding Priorities for FY16 Advanced Manufacturing Low-carbon energy Climate research and earth observation Agricultural R&D Infrastructure R&D Antibiotic Resistance* Precision Medicine* Discovery Science: Life sciences and neuroscience Advanced computing COMPETES Agencies R&D: $12.1 billion, +6.6% *New for FY16

19. National Institutes of Health $1 billion increase (+3.3%) Largest relative increases: Alzheimer’s research, translational science New initiatives: Antibiotic Resistance: $100 million for NIAID $200 million for Precision Medicine Large increase for Big Data BRAIN Initiative contribution increases to $135 million Success rate: 19.3%

20. NIAID

21. National Science Foundation Total Budget: +5.2% Highest relative changes: SBE: +7.1% Engineering: +6.4% EHR: +11.2% New priority areas: Food- water-energy; climate resilience Several other cross-agency initiatives boosted

23. Energy Technology offices: renewed focus on efficiency, renewables, ARPA-E, smart grid, CCS Manufacturing office to double DOE Science: +5.4% Advanced Computing: +14.8% Domestic fusion research cut 15% ITER flat Small boost for EFRCS; Hubs funding continues

25. National Security DOD S&T, DARPA flat 8.3% cut to basic research NNSA: cuts to nonproliferation R&D, select RDT&E accounts DHS: NBAF funding completed; moderate cuts elsewhere in S&T Directorate

26. Advanced Manufacturing National Network of Manufacturing Innovation proposal revived Discretionary / mandatory mix NIST Labs also boosted across an array of areas EERE: Advanced Manufacturing office doubled NSF: CEMMSS cross-agency initiative boosted Climate and Environment NOAA Office of Research: Major (~20%) boost for climate research Elsewhere at NOAA: planned decreases for GOES-R, JPSS to make room for Polar Follow-On USGS: +14%, focus on climate resilience NASA Earth Science boost “The 2016 Budget redefines NASA and NOAA Earth observing satellite responsibilities to leverage NASA Earth Science’s expertise in developing Earth-observing satellites while allowing NOAA to focus its development efforts on its weather satellites and weather forecasting mission. Under the new framework, NOAA will be responsible only for satellite missions that contribute directly to NOAA’s ability to issue weather and space weather forecasts and warnings to protect life and property. NASA will be responsible for other nondefense Earth-observing satellite missions.” EPA S&T moderately increased

27. NASA Total budget: +2.9% 6.1% below FY05 levels Familiar contours: Earth Science, Space Technology, Commercial Crew program boosted Cuts to Planetary Science, Astrophysics Exploration Systems Development, Aeronautics funding reduced Since FY10: Earth Sci +22.6% Planetary -9.6% Astrophys -0.7% Webb +28.1% Heliophys -2.9%

29. Agriculture AFRI Increased to $450 million (+38.5%) ARS receives $200 million injection for facilities Two new innovation institutes: biomanufacturing and nanocellulosics $77 million total for antibiotic resistance research
