NSF: The American Competitiveness Initiative
January 10, 2007
Hosted by: Washington University in St. LouisSt. Louis, Missouri
The Metropolitan St. Louis Grants Conference
2
Along the Road Ahead
•Backdrop – The overall “environment” includes:– The political landscape– Constrained budgets– “War time” environment– Disaster relief funding– Deficit reduction– Economic uncertainty– Trade deficit
3
Along the Road Ahead
•There is some potential good news for R&D
– The American Competitiveness Initiative

5
American Competitiveness Initiative
• Boost physical sciences• More attention to math and science
education in public schools• Focus on applied energy research• Make Research and Experimentation
Federal tax credit permanentBut:• Flat lines NIH for next 5 years• Freezes NASA’s spending on earth and
space sciences
6
American Competitiveness Initiative
Haves:• Double over 10 years:
– DOE Science Programs– NSF
NIST
• DHS: +$18 million for research on nuclear detection and forensics
• ED: Invest $326 million total in Math and Science Education (+51%)
7
American Competitiveness Initiative
Have Nots:• NIH: +1%
– Some few winners:• + $110 million for bio defense fund• + $49 million for initiative on genes, environment and
health• +15 million for new bridge award for young
investigators
• NASA: +1%– A host of science missions being placed on hold including:
• The space interferometry telescope• A probe to search for Earth-like planets• Spacecraft to measure global precipitation
• EPA: 6.7% in S&T account• NOAA: $279 million

Congress and the Budget:The Future Appears Bright

NSF’s Key Congressional Players
• House and Senate Budget Committees
• Authorization Committees– House Science Committee/Sub-committees– Senate Health, Education, Labor & Pensions
Committee– Senate Commerce, Science & Transportation
Committee
• Appropriations Committees– New committee structure: House and Senate –
new staff
10
Role of Appropriations Subcommittees
• In FY 2006, they dispersed > $843 billion of discretionary funds.
• Work with Congressional leadership and members to address priorities of budget resolution.
