6 The Fiscal Context for FY 2015 Reminder: Budget Control Act’s two baselines “pre-sequester” and “post-sequester” Congress keeps rolling the cuts back (partially) FY14: 50% reduction, FY15: 20% reduction Discretionary spending cap: $1.014 trillion 0.2% above FY14 FY 2016 and beyond – back to sequester levels

9 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 (“innovation institutes”) Advanced Manufacturing COMPETES Agencies: $11 billion for R&D (+1% from FY14) Research budget hit? (not really)

10 Other Notes NIH: Translational science, Alzheimer's, mental health, big data Federal R&D drops to 0.75% of GDP (post WWII low) Opportunity, Growth and Security Initiative: Extra funding

11 Appropriations So Far Bills in play have covered funding for NSF, NASA, NOAA, USDA, Transportation, DOE, Defense, NIH, DHS A typically mixed bag, but perhaps more positive than negative Sequestration recovery sustained/continued

13 Appropriations So Far (continued) Senate: NIH gets a boost House: DOE offices flat or cut House: DHS, Defense science boosted above request Varying numbers for USDA Transportation: mostly “no thanks”
