	SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Business -- Researchers: Cuts in basic research could hurt national security
		SAN JOSE – The Pentagon has in recent years decreased university funding for basic computer research in favor of projects that produce near-term results – and prominent scientists and industry executives say that could undercut U.S. technology leadership, economic well-being and even the military.
		But while DARPA spending on basic computer science research has risen from $546 million in fiscal 2001 to $583 million, the cut of it going toward to academic institutions has fallen from $214 million to $123 million during the same period.
		Researchers say the shift already is affecting other research agencies such as the National Science Foundation, which has seen its own budget increases slow down in recent years.

	Notice 03-12
		Basic research proposed under this Notice should contribute to DOE's environmental management activities by decreasing risk for the public and workers, providing opportunities for major cost reductions, reducing the time required to achieve DOE's mission goals, and, in general, should address problems that are considered intractable without new knowledge.
		That report identified significant knowledge gaps and research opportunities in a number of areas; however, due to the limited funds expected to be available to support new EMSP projects in Fiscal Year 2003, this Notice focuses on research needs for waste characterization, including characterization and detection of buried wastes.
		Research toward new, noninvasive, remote imaging and image recognition methods and in-drum sensors to provide faster and more sensitive technologies for characterization could lead to significant savings in time, cost, and risk of worker exposure.
