Federal spending on science and technology remains solid in 2015 Budget

12/28/2014

0 Comments

 
Washington, D.C., December 15, 2015 – Kelly Phillips Erb, a contributor of Forbes, comments on the federal budget vote. “While the tenor of the debate felt partisan from start to finish, the final vote didn’t have an overwhelmingly partisan flavor. Of the Senators voting yes, 31 were Democrats, 24 were Republicans and 1 was Independent. Of the Senators voting no, 21 were Democrats, 18 were Republicans and 1 was Independent. Of those abstaining, one was a Democrat three were Republicans. The more than 1,600 page bill, considered a compromise on both sides, was a $1.014 trillion budget which will keep the lights on in Congress through September 2015.”

“The bill increased funding for cyber security for the Federal Bureau of Investigations. Fraud control measures related to cyber security also resulted in funding bumps for other agencies, including the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy.”

“While the Ebola virus is still making headlines, Congress carved out an entire section of the budget for “Ebola response and preparedness.” The National Institute of Health (NIH) not only got a regular budget boost but additional research money to fight Ebola. Also benefiting directly and indirectly from the Ebola scare, along with concerns about other infectious diseases, are the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).”

“Science was overall a big winner in the budget. Not only did medical research see extra funds, so did other sciences. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) will all see better numbers in 2015 than last year.”
