AAAS: Federal Science R&D Budgets Disappointing for 2006
The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) reports that the federal
R&D portfolio totals $134.8 billion for 2006, a $2.2 billion or 1.7% increase. 97% of the
increase, however, goes just to defense weapons and space exploration. Funding for all other
federal R&D programs collectively will barely increase, and will fall nearly 2% after adjusting
for inflation. Congressional appropriations for basic and applied research total $57.0 billion, an
increase of $1.0 billion or 1.8% over 2005, mostly due to NASA increases. Many flagship
federal science agencies such as the NIH, NSF, EPA, and DOE have disappointing budgets for
2006. Read the full AAAS report.
