Federal Research and Development Funding: FY2006 [Updated October 26, 2005]
"The Bush Administration has requested $132.2 billion in federal research and development (R&D) funding for FY2006. This sum represents a $505 million increase over the FY2005 estimated funding level of $131.7 billion. In real dollars, total federal R&D would decline for the first time since FY1996. The proposed FY2006 R&D budget reflects the Administrations objective of constraining the growth of federal discretionary spending [...] The 109th Congress is facing difficult decisions for funding federal R&D. For the first time in a decade, total federal R&D funding is proposed to decline in real dollars. Since President Bush took office, defense R&D funding has increased 45%, in real dollars, while concomitantly civilian R&D has increased 23%. However, if the doubling of National Institutes of Health budget, between FY1999 and FY2003, is subtracted from the total, civilian R&D has declined in real dollars. Given the important role that federal civilian R&D plays in the education of future scientists and engineers, as well as the development of technological innovation, a variety of special interest groups are likely to call on Congress to restore funding for civilian R&D. If the President insists on holding the line on civilian discretionary spending, any increase for civilian R&D funding would have to be obtained at the expense of other federal programs."

Federal Research and Development Funding: FY2006 [Updated February 1, 2006]
"The Bush Administration has requested $132.2 billion in federal research and development (R&D) funding for FY2006. This sum represents a $505 million increase over the FY2005 estimated funding level of $131.7 billion. In real dollars, total federal R&D would decline for the first time since FY1996. The proposed FY2006 R&D budget reflects the Administration's objective of constraining the growth of federal discretionary spending. For the first time since FY1995, funding for defense R&D (the sum of the Department of Defense's ( DOD) and the Department of Energy's (DOE) defense R&D programs) would be flat with a requested $74.9 billion. This is due primarily to a proposed 21% reduction in DOD's science and technology programs. Funding for federal civilian R&D is proposed to increase $188 million to $57 billion, a 0.3% increase over the FY2005 estimated funding level. Most of this increase can be attributed to increases in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) budget and the Department of Transportation. Based on current funding proposals, most of the other civilian R&D agencies budgets are proposed to decline, in real dollars, in FY2006."

Federal Research and Development Funding: FY2007 [March 28, 2006]
"The Bush Administration requested $137.2 billion in federal research and development (R&D) funding for FY2007. This sum represents a 2.6% increase over the estimated $133.7 billion that was approved in FY2006. As in the recent past, the FY2007 increase over the FY2006 estimated funding levels is due to significant funding increases in the Department of Defense (DOD) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA's) space vehicles development program. The centerpiece of the President's proposed FY2007 R&D budget is the American Competitiveness Initiative (ACI). The President proposed this initiative in response to growing concerns about America's ability to compete in the technological global market place. Over the next 10 years, the $136 billion initiative would commit $50 billion for research, science education, and the modernization of research infrastructure. The remaining $86 billion would finance a revised permanent R&D tax incentive over the next 10 years. The most recent federal research tax credit expired on December 31, 2005. In his budget request, the President asked Congress to pass a permanent Research and Experimental Federal tax credit."

Federal Research and Development Funding: FY2005 [Updated December 21, 2004]
"The Bush Administration requested
$131.9 billion in federal research and
development (R&D) funding for FY2005.
This was $5.9 billion above the estimated
$126 billion that was appropriated for federal
R&D in FY2004. Based on Congressional
actions, CRS estimates that federal R&D
funding will reach $132.9 billion in FY2005,
a 5.5% increase over FY2004. CRS estimates
that 78% of this increase was for defense
R&D. CRS estimates that defense R&D will
reach $75.4 billion, a 7.4% increase over
FY2004, while civilian R&D is estimated to
reach $57.5 billion, a 2.7% increase over
FY2004.
Congress passed four individual appropriations
bills, but only two of them, Defense
and Homeland Security, have R&D programs."

Department of Homeland Security: Issues Concerning the Establishment of Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) [Updated November 13, 2003]
"Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) were first established during World War II to provide specific defense research and development (R&D) capabilities that were not readily available within the federal government or the private sector. The federal government currently operates 36 FFRDCs. Title III of the Department Homeland Security (DHS) Act (P.L.107-296) calls for the creation of one or more FFRDCs, including a Homeland Security Institute. On September 10th, the DHS released a "Sources Sought" notice requesting that contractors indicate their interest in competing to operate an FFRDC for DHS. Those responding must include a 400 words, or less, qualification statement by October 30th. DHS plans to release a formal request for proposal, for the FFRDC, before the end of this year. In the past several years, some congressional and non-congressional critics have questioned the use of FFRDCs, including the continuing need for such Centers, diversification into areas beyond the Centers' original missions, and oversight of each FFRDC's activities by its sponsoring agency. This report will be updated to reflect most recent events."

Federal R&D Funding Under a Continuing Resolution [October 31, 2006]
"On September 29, 2006, President Bush signed a continuing resolution, or CR (P.L. 109-289, H.Rept 109-676) which provides spending at FY2006 levels (through November 17, 2006), for those agencies lacking enacted FY2007 appropriations bills. The House has passed 10 of its 11 appropriations bills, and the Senate has passed 2 of its 12 appropriations bills (the Senate Appropriations Committee has passed its remaining 10 appropriation bills). Congress has passed two appropriations bills, the Department of Defense (P.L. 109-289, H.Rept. 109-676) and the Department of Homeland Security (P.L. 109-295, H.Rept. 109-699). Based on these current House and Senate actions, total federal R&D could reach an estimated $140 billion for FY2007. The centerpiece of the President's proposed FY2007 R&D budget is the American Competitiveness Initiative (ACI). The President proposed this initiative in response to growing concerns about America's ability to compete in the technological global marketplace."

Manipulating Molecules: Federal Support for Nanotechnology Research [March 21, 2007]
From the Document: "The Bush Administration requested $1.447 billion for nanotechnology research in FY2008, a $56 million increase over the estimated $1.391 billion for FY2007. (See Table 1.) Nanotechnology is a newly emerging field of science where scientists and engineers are beginning to manipulate matter at the molecular and atomic levels in order to obtain materials and systems with significantly improved properties. Ten nanometers is equal to one-ten thousandths the diameter of a human hair. Proponents of this technology argue that nanotechnology will lead to a new industrial revolution in the 21st century. Scientists note that nanotechnology is still in its infancy, with large scale practical applications 10 to 30 years away. Congressional concerns include the distribution of Program Component Area funding levels, the potential environmental and health concerns associated with the development and deployment of nanotechnology, and the need to adopt international measurement standards for nanotechnology."

Federal R&D Funding Under a Continuing Resolution [March 13, 2007]
"On February 15, 2007 President Bush signed into law P.L. 110-5 (H.J.Res 20), which provides funding for the nine outstanding regular appropriations bills through September 30, 2007.The 109th Congress passed two appropriations bills, the Department of Defense (P.L. 109-289, H.Rept. 109-676) and the Department of Homeland Security (P.L. 109-295, H.Rept. 109-699). P.L. 110-5 will fund most agencies at FY2006 levels through September 30, 2007. However, P.L. 110-5 contains some exceptions to those guidelines, including the centerpiece of the President's proposed FY2007 R&D budget, the American Competitiveness Initiative (ACI). Agencies are required to report their estimated FY2007 R&D funding levels to Congress by March 15, 2007."

As indicated in Table 1, the Administration requested $1,447 billion for nanotechnology research in FY2008, a 4% increase over the FY2007 estimated funding level of $1.391billion. Nanotechnology is the creation and utilization of materials, devices, and systems with novel properties and functions through the control of matter atom by atom, or molecule by molecule. Such control takes place on a scale of a fraction of a nanometer to tens of nanometers. Ten nanometers is equal to one-ten thousandth the diameter of a human hair."

Federal Research and Development Funding: FY2008 [Updated July 26, 2007]
"The Bush Administration has requested $142.7 billion in federal research and development (R&D) funding for FY2008.As in the recent past, the FY2008 proposed increase over the FY2007 funding level is due to significant funding increases in the Department of Defense (DOD); the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA's) space vehicles development program; and the continuation of the American Competitiveness Initiative (ACI). The President initiated the ACI in FY2007 and continues to promote it in his FY2008 R&D budget. While the ACI is likely to be well received by lawmakers, other administration proposals for agency R&D funding are likely to encounter strong opposition in Congress. For example, the administration's proposed budget for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is $28.5 billion, a decrease of $529 million (1.8%) below the estimated 2007 funding level. This proposed level represents the fifth year in a row the administration has proposed cutting NIH's budget. While NASA's R&D budget would increase in FY2008, the entire increase is designated for two major initiatives: finishing the international space station and developing the crew launch vehicle/crew exploration vehicle combination. However, as a result of these priorities, funding for NASA's basic and applied research programs has declined 18% since FY2006. Funding for the Department of Defense is proposed to increase by $765 million to $79 billion in FY2008. DOD's weapons development program would increase to an all time high of $68.1 billion."
