 AAAS R&D Funding Update on R&D in the FY 2007 DOD Budget - February 22
DOD basic research funding (the “6.1” category) would fall 3.3 percent to $1.4 billion after a similar cut in 2006, though the 2007 cut would be due to the proposed elimination of congressional earmarks.
DOD funding of “SandT” (the “6.1” through “6.3” categories plus medical research) would total $11.2 billion in FY 2007, a dramatic drop of $2.6 billion or 18.6 percent (see Table 3), primarily from steep proposed cuts in the “6.3” (technology development) programs, although there would also be cuts in the other categories.
DOD weapons development (the non-SandT portion of DOD RandD) would jump $4.2 billion or 7.1 percent to $62.9 billion in the request, led by large increases for the Air Force and the Missile Defense Agency (MDA; see Table 2).
