White House budget proposal 2012
Posted in Uncategorized
Funding is tight all over. The question is only: How tight? The White House released its budget today. It’s just a proposal, and is subject to massive revision by Congress, but it may indicate where the priorities are. The NIH is slated to get a 3.4% increase from the actual 2010 level. If that holds, even just a little bit, it’s not as bad as it could have been. By the way, the NSF has been doing a little better than the NIH recently, and the White House has proposed a 13% increase for 2012. If you’ve got an idea they might be interested in, you may want to consider one of those grants.
