There's something wrong with the numbers, the whole NOAA budget is less than $6B.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it is a typo and it's actually NASA, instead of NOAA?
DeleteYup, it's a NASA/NOAA swap: http://www.aaas.org/sites/default/files/16c.RD%20Agency.jpg
DeleteThis ordering doesn't surprise me. What is the top three you're expecting?
ReplyDeleteI would have expected it to be: 1. DOD 2. NIH 3. NSF
DeleteGuess I was wrong.
And what do you think the order *should* be?
DeleteThat DOD R&D budget is staggering!
ReplyDeleteThe EPA will need more funding to test and regulate compounds for the Chemical Safety Improvement act. I wonder if testing of industrial compounds constitutes R&D.
ReplyDeleteNo surprise here, most of my grad school projects were DOD/DARPA funded, my boss always went for those grants because that's where the money was.
