Key Admin R&D Priorities Jobs / Innovation / Science

Shifts from D to R, and from Defense to Nondefense

COMPETES Agencies: $12.6 billion (+18% from 2012)

Advanced manufacturing

Permanent R&D Tax Credit

STEM Reorg

An Advanced Low-Carbon Economy

Homeland Security (BNAF)

Repeals sequestration

(Continuing) trouble spots: NIH? NASA?

Defense R&D: Recent Decline DOD: $69.5b (-7%)

Boost for basic, everything else cut

Cuts across all military departments and agencies; DARPA flat

DOE Atomic Weapons: Continued strong

growth

Homeland Security: National Bio and Agro-defense Facility getting built

NSF: $6.3B for R&D (+9%) 10-year Trend: +21.9% Broad investment,

especially Engineering, BIO, SBE

DOE Science: $4.6B for R&D (+6%) 10-year trend: 18.1% Growth everywhere but

High Energy Physics Continued (but restrained)

investment in ITER NIF, Exascale hit

NIH: Continued Stagnation

10-year trend: -10% Only notable boosts:

NCATS, National Institute for Aging, NLM

BRAIN Initiative ($40 million) Details forthcoming

Big data ($41 million) Success rate ticking

upward? Concerns: Basic / applied

split? Impacts of sequestration?

NASA R&D: Discontinuity? Science cut; few notable boosts

Planetary science continued target for cuts

Aeronautics remains flat

Congressional conflicts: Asteroid vs. Moon? Commercial crew increases?

What about exploration? Orion, SLS cut

Next steps… The BIG question: resolving differences over

discretionary spending How does Congress fit a $1057 billion budget into a $966

billion hole?

Smithsonian, NSF)
