This week ACS President Joe Francisco sent a letter to Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, John Boehner, and Mitch McConnell, recommending FY2011 funding levels and emphasizing the need for Congress to appropriately invest in science and technology.
The ACS is grateful for Congress’s hard work in passing individual appropriations measures in the face of a challenging political and economic environment and urges Congress to invest in a sustained and predictable manner in basic federal scientific research and STEM education programs.
Recommendations include:
NSF – $7.42 billion – (doubling track by 2016)
DoE Office of Sci – $5.01 billion
NIST – $968 million
NIH – $32.0 billion
EPA S+T program – $855 million
DoD Defense Basic Research – $2.06 billion
