Federal Research and Development Funding: FY2015
Abstract
President Obamas budget request for FY2015 included $135.352 billion for research and development (R and D), a $1.670 billion (1.2%) increase from the FY2014 level of $133.682 billion. Funding for R and D is concentrated in a few departments and agencies. Under President ObamasFY2015 budget request, seven federal agencies would have received 95.4% of total federal R and D funding, with the Department of Defense (DOD, 47.6%) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS, 23.0%) accounting for more than two-thirds of all federal R and D funding. In addition to the FY2015 base budget request, the President proposed an Opportunity, Growth, and Security Initiative (OGSI) that sought, together with funding for other purposes, $5.3 billion for R and D at certain agencies, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST,$2.515 billion), National Institutes of Health ($970 million), NASA ($874 million), National Science Foundation (NSF, $552 million), Department of Agriculture ($277 million), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ($180 million). Of the NIST funding, $2.4billion would have supported the establishment of a National Network for Manufacturing Innovation.
