Other FY 04 RD Highlights

• NIH Doubling plan (almost) complete in FY
  03, FY 04 budget of 27.9 bil. would slow
  growth down to 2.7, mostly for bioterrorism
  research

  increase in 03 may be first step, but growth
  slows to 3 in 04
• DOE Office of Science funding flat for four
  years (01-04) at 3.1 bil. RD, continuing
  increases for defense-related RD, mostly in the
  national labs
• NASA Budget in flux because of Shuttle
  disaster, but declines in Space Station and
  aeronautics offset by large increase in Space
  Science and new launch technologies
