Preview: Obama's 2013 Budget…. if approved by Congress
• The National Institutes of Health would see no funding increase, with the
budget for medical research holding at $30.7 billion, although new
policies for grant administration would increase the money available for
research grants by 7 percent, according to materials the administration
provided in a briefing with stakeholders on February 12, 2012.
• Budgets for the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of
Standards and Technology Laboratories, and the Department of Energy’s
Office of Science would all increase, in line with the president’s proposal
to eventually double the funding for those agencies.
