Federal Research and Development Funding: FY2017
Abstract
President Obamas budget request for FY2017 includes $152.333 billion for research and development (R and D), an increase of $6.195 billion (4.2%) over the estimated FY2016 enacted R and D funding level of $146.138 billion. The request represents the Presidents R and D priorities; Congress may opt to agree with part or all of the request, or it may express different priorities through the appropriations process. In particular, Congress will play a central role in determining the growth rate and allocation of the federal R and D investment in a period of intense pressure on discretionary spending. Budget caps may limit overall R and D funding and may require movement of resources across disciplines, programs, or agencies to address priorities.
