It may have taken an extra 6 months – and a dour response from President Trump – but the U.S. Federal budget for FY 2018 has proven to be good news for science and technology.
How so? Well, for starters, this budget reflects the biggest increase in research spending in more than a decade. Matt Hourihan, who analyzes U.S. science spending patterns for AAAS, characterized some of the numbers as “silly good.” High praise indeed from a science geek.
The increase was made possible in part by mandatory caps on civilian and military spending. That gave Congress an extra $300 billion to play with.
Here are the federal departments that stand to benefit from the budget increase:
- The National Institutes of Health
- The National Science Foundation
- The Department of Energy’s Office of Science
- NASA
- The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology
- The U.S. Geological Survey
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture
- The Environmental Protection Agency
