FY15 Budget Request Provides Mixed News for NIH, NSF, Statistical Agencies

摘要

Delayed a month because of the broader budget negotiations, the Obama Administration's FY15 budget request was released in March. The NIH and NSF requests, if fully funded by Congress, would see both agencies lose ground to inflation. For NIH, its request level is below its FY11 and FY12 levels. The NSF request is 3% more than its FY12 level. For the federal statistical agencies, the requested budgets range from slight decreases to a 28% increase.
