This sum represents a $400 million increase over the FY2005 estimated\nfunding level of $132 billion. CRS estimates that Congress has approved a record $135.7 billion for\nfederal R&D in FY2006, a 2.8% increase over the FY2005 estimated funding level. However,\nnearly\nall of that increase can be attributed to increases in defense weapons systems and the National\nAeronautics and Space Administration's $877 million increase for human space exploration\ntechnology. (1) (See Table 13) \n Basic research funding would decline by 0.5% below the FY2005 estimated level, declining to\nan estimated $26.7 billion in FY2006. Five agencies account for 90% of all federal basic research\nexpenditures. Total federal research funding (the sum of basic and applied research) is projected to\nincrease $1 billion to $57 billion. However, the majority of that increase would go to NASA, while\nmost of the remaining federal agencies would receive below inflation increases for research funding. \n While the President essentially requested flat funding for the Department of Defense (DOD)\nR&D programs, Congress approved an estimated $ 72.1 billion DOD R&D, a 4.2 %\nincrease over\nFY2005 funding levels. Most of that increase is a result of Congress increasing DOD's proposed\nscience and technology budget by $2.5 billion more than was requested by the Administration. \n Funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) would decline, in nominal dollars for the\nfirst time in 36 years. Since the completion of doubling NIH's budget (between 1998-2003), funding\nhas declined to the FY2003 funding level, after adjusting for inflation. \n Most R&D funding agencies now face budgets that are shrinking to levels of years past, in\nreal\ndollars. While it has been 24 years since NIH's budget declined in real dollars, other agencies such\nas the National Science Foundation, DOE's Office of Science, NASA (excluding human space\nexploration), and Agriculture, have lived with stagnate budgets for several years. Consequently, in\nreal dollars, all of these agencies will have less R&D funding in FY2006 than they did in\nFY2003.\n \n \n 1. The FY2006 R&D funding totals, in this section do not reflect\nthe 1% across-the-board funding recision approved by Congress. see P.
