Federal Research and Development (R and D) Funding: FY2020

Abstract

President Trump's budget request for FY2020 included approximately $134.1 billion for research and development (R and D). Several FY2019 appropriations bills had not been enacted at the time the President's FY2020 budget was prepared; therefore, the President's budget included the FY2018 actual funding levels, 2019 annualized continuing resolution (CR) levels, and the FY2020 request levels. On February 15, 2019, Congress enacted the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019 (P.L. 116-6). This act included each of the remaining appropriations acts, completing the FY2019 appropriations process. The act also rendered the CR levels identified in the budget no longer relevant, though for some agencies the exact amount of R and D funding in the act remained uncertain. The analysis of government-wide R and D funding in this report compares the Presidents request for FY2020 to the FY2018 level.
