THE 2009 BUDGET
The President proposes a $3.1 trillion budget for FY 2009.
To help control the deficit, the President proposes to keep domestic appropriations flat in 2009; domestic spending has been flat in real terms since 2004.
The President’s budget proposes steep cuts in many domestic programs and several program eliminations.

INNOVATION: MAKING PHYSICAL SCIENCES A PRIORITY
President Bush announced the American Competitiveness (ACI) in his 2006 State of the Union address. There are several congressional responses, culminating in the America COMPETES Act of August 2007.
For R&D investments, the theme is boosting federal support for basic research in the physical sciences, broadly defined but centered on physics, chemistry, computer science, engineering, mathematics, materials, nanotechnology, etc.
The plan: Doubling the budgets of NSF, DOE Office of Science, and the NIST laboratories over 7 to 10 years.

THE 2009 BUDGET FOR R&D
The ACI continues for a third year, with large increases for NSF, DOE Science, and the NIST labs to catch up to a 10-year doubling track.
There would be large increases for DOD weapons and NASA spacecraft development, but also increases for most R&D programs.
The NIH budget would be flat, agricultural and environmental R&D agencies would decline.

A COMMUNICATION PORTAL FOR THE MACARTHUR INITIATIVE
WHAT’S NEXT?
Congress is considering the FY 2009 budget resolution, which could boost domestic appropriations by up to $24 billion over the President’s request. But the President has threatened to veto any appropriations that exceed his request.
If Congress is forced to stay with the President’s total, then ACI and other increases will be trimmed to shore up funding for other domestic programs, as in 2008. NSF would not do well, but other life sciences agencies such as USDA, USGS, and EPA might.
The Appropriations Committees will try to write and pass 12 2009 appropriations bills. But Congress is already considering delaying appropriations until the next President is in office.
