NSF Funding for FY2011
The Coalition of National Science Funding has reviewed the negotiated deal between the House, Senate and the White House on FY2011 federal spending and release details on the affect of the spending cuts on the National Science Foundation (NSF):
The Appropriations Committee has released details of the full-year FY 2011 Continuing Resolution. The numbers for NSF are attached below as a chart. Overall, the Committee cut NSF by $52 million. or .8 percent (R&RA by $42 million, and EHR by $10 million). In addition, there is an across the board cut of .2 percent for all non-defense programs, projects, and accounts. With the across the board cut NSF will end up with a reduction of $65.75 million overall, or 1 percent, below the FY 2010 enacted levels. See the chart below for the minor reductions in the other accounts due to the across-the-board cut.
The chart below already accounts for the transfer of the $54 million Coast Guard (CG) transfer – some of the press releases from the Appropriations Committees are going off the slightly inflated numbers that include $54 million for the Coast Guard.
