9 Major Funding Priorities Advanced Manufacturing Low-carbon energy Climate research and earth observation Agricultural R&D Infrastructure R&D Antibiotic Resistance* Precision Medicine* Discovery Science: Life sciences and neuroscience Advanced computing COMPETES Agencies R&D: $12.1 billion, +6.6% *New for FY16

10 National Institutes of Health $1 billion increase (+3.3%) Largest relative increases: Aging, NCATS Antibiotic Resistance: $100 million for NIAID $200 million for Precision Medicine initiative BRAIN Initiative contribution increases to $135 million Success rate: 19.3%

11 National Science Foundation Total Budget: +5.2% Highest relative changes: SBE: +7.1% Engineering: +6.4% EHR: +11.2% New priority areas: Food/Water/Energy Nexus; climate resilience Several other cross-agency initiatives boosted

12 National Security DOD S&T, DARPA flat 8.3% cut to basic research NNSA: cuts to nonproliferation R&D, select RDT&E accounts DHS: NBAF funding completed; moderate cuts elsewhere in S&T Directorate

13 Energy Technology offices: renewed focus on efficiency, renewables, ARPA-E, smart grid Manufacturing office to double DOE Science: +5.4% Advanced Computing: +14.8% Domestic fusion research cut 10% ITER flat Small boost for EFRCS; Hubs funding continues

14 NASA Total budget: +2.9% Familiar contours: Earth Science, Space Technology boosted Exploration Systems Development, Aeronautics funding reduced NASA taking over select satellite programs from NOAA

15 Agriculture AFRI Increased to $450 million (+38.5%) ARS receives $200 million injection for facilities Two “innovation institutes”: biomanufacturing and nanocellulosics $77 million total for antibiotic resistance research

16 Advanced Manufacturing National Network of Manufacturing Innovation proposal revived Discretionary / mandatory mix NIST Labs also boosted across an array of areas EERE: Advanced Manufacturing office doubled NSF: CEMMSS cross-agency initiative boosted

17 Climate and Environment NOAA Office of Research: Major (~20%) boost for climate research Elsewhere at NOAA: planned decreases for GOES-R, JPSS to make room for Polar Follow-On USGS: +14%, focus on climate resilience NASA Earth Science boost “The 2016 Budget redefines NASA and NOAA Earth observing satellite responsibilities to leverage NASA Earth Science’s expertise in developing Earth-observing satellites while allowing NOAA to focus its development efforts on its weather satellites and weather forecasting mission. Under the new framework, NOAA will be responsible only for satellite missions that contribute directly to NOAA’s ability to issue weather and space weather forecasts and warnings to protect life and property. NASA will be responsible for other nondefense Earth-observing satellite missions.” EPA S&T moderately increased

18 Looking ahead… Size and composition of the discretionary budget? Can R&D stay ahead of the curve? Deficits have fallen, but big-picture fiscal challenges remain largely unchanged Debt limit, entitlement growth Reconciliation strategy?
