In February, President
Bush released his proposed budget for fiscal year (FY) 2009. Within a flat domestic
budget, the 2009 budget continues to propose large increases for the three physical
sciences agencies in the American Competitiveness Initiative (ACI), increases
for human spacecraft development, flat funding for biomedical research in the
National Institutes of Health (NIH), and mostly increases in other parts of the
federal research and development (R&D) portfolio but cuts to key environmental
and agricultural R&D agencies. Defense R&D would continue to increase,
and next year defense basic research in the physical sciences would share in the
gains. Despite tough budget conditions, the overall federal investment in R&D
would increase $4.9 billion or 3.5 percent to $147.4 billion, driven primarily
by increases in development funding. The federal investment in basic and applied
research would fall 0.3 percent to $57.3 billion in 2009 as proposed gains in
the ACI agencies would be offset by cuts in other agencies' research funding,
primarily cuts in congressional earmarks. Federal research funding would fall
for the fifth year in a row in real dollars..
The newly published AAAS
Report XXXIII: Research and Development FY 2009 is a comprehensive analysis
of R&D in the proposed federal budget for FY 2009. The report, an annual effort
produced in collaboration with nearly 20 science and engineering associations,
is now available on the AAAS R&D web site and in print. The 280-page report,
including nearly 40 tables and 25 chapters on R&D by agency, theme, and discipline,
is an authoritative reference on R&D in the budget. A 16-page summary of
the report is available as the AAAS Analysis of R&D
in the FY 2009 Budget. More detailed analyses of FY 2009 funding proposals
are also available on the AAAS R&D web site on the FY 2009
R&D page. The web site contains the full text of
the report and an online store (see below). - April 18, 2008

The six chapters
comprising this volume are based on talks presented at the AAAS
Colloquium on Science and Technology Policy, April 11-12, 2002. In an ordinary

published as part of the 2003
AAAS Science and Technology Policy Yearbook. However, this was not an
ordinary year in the aftermath of September 11, nor are this volume's issues ordinary
policy concerns. Hence, AAAS has decided to expedite their publication by producing
this special volume. The full
