NCATS, NINDS, NIMH, largest relative increases USDA: Extramural research boost, but not intramural Three new “innovation institutes” NASA Science, Orion/SLS, Aero cut; Space Technology, some exploration activities boosted DOE Science: cuts to fusion, high-energy physics, others increased DOE renewables, efficiency, ARPA-E boosted NSF: Social sciences boosted? Interagency initiatives flat or declining

9. Items of Note: OGSI “Opportunity, Growth and Security Initiative” $56 billion in additional funding BEYOND the base budget Split between defense and nondefense NIH: $970 million (BRAIN, “DARPA NIH”, grants) NSF: $552 million NASA: $886 million (spread across agency) NIST: Manufacturing institutes DOE: cleantech funding – at least $600 million? DOD: “$2.1 billion for R&D” USDA: ~$300 million, Athens poultry lab, competitive grants
