The AAAS has made a preliminary analysis of the R&D component of Bush's
new budget request, in the two days since it was released.
> An analysis of all aspects of the proposed R&D budget is available at
> the AAAS R&D web site (
http://www.aaas.org/spp/rd ). This analysis,
> completed by the AAAS Directorate for Science and Policy Programs,
> offers the only comprehensive review of the U.S. government's
> proposed R&D budget.
There's a 13 page pdf to download at that url. Also links to the
ongoing analysis of the FY2003 budget which is still under construction.
There's a Dept of Homeland Security ARPA coming, just give them a few
more weeks to get things organized. Bush signed a bill in December
authorizing a doubling of the NSF budget over the next few years, but
there's no sign of it in the budget request. The NIH, after five years
of annual 15% budget growth, will have to get by on a 2% increase next year.
