OBAMA'S SCIENCE BUDGET

POST DATE
POSTED BY Geoff Davis

Wired has a handy chart of which agencies get what in Obama's new budget proposal. The NIH gets an extra $1 billion, NSF, NASA, and the EPA each get an extra $500M, and a few others get smaller increases. Only the CDC's budget gets chopped.

Given that the proposed budget comes with a giant helping of deficit spending it's unlikely that these raises will make it through intact. NIH's proposed budget increase (3.2%) is right on par with inflation (2.7%), so if it gets reduced, expect much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
