1. R&D in the FY 2015 Budget: Overview and Context Matt Hourihan May 1, 2014 for the AAAS Science & Technology Policy Forum AAAS R&D Budget and Policy Program http://www.aaas.org/spp/rd

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

20. 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

21. General Science R&D NSF flat 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)

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

23. 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

24. 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 labs + $2.4 billion for advanced manufacturing network USGS: $75m for R&D Transportation: $186m for FAA (NextGen) DOD: $2.1 billion for R&D DOE: upwards of $1 billion…??

26. What it all adds up to…

29. Looking ahead… FY 2015 spending caps already agreed upon Regular Order Signs of green shoots in approps? Long-term spending: what to do?
