Between 1993 and 1999, funding for basic research increased more than for applied research or was cut less than applied research in 12 of 22 fields we examine. Of the nine major agencies we look at, basic research support increased more than total research support, or decreased less, in four cases.

For example, DOE support for research was 2.1 percent larger in 1999 than in 1993, but support for university research was 8.0 percent less. There was a similar pattern in federal support of university basic research.

The percentage growth in federal funding of basic research at FFRDCs was much larger than it was for total research at FFRDCs (16.5 percent vs. 6.9 percent)

at agencies other than NIH was 11.7 percent; the increase in basic research not counting NIH was 9.0 percent.6 Notwithstanding congressional approval of a 14.2 percent increase in NIH's budget,7 NIH accounted for only 45.3 percent of the net increase in funding for research from 2000 to 2001, compared with 54.5 percent from 1997 to 1998, 65.7 percent from 1998 to 1999, and 72.6 percent from 1999 to 2000. In 2001, NIH's share of federal funding of research increased by 0.6 percentage points to 40.8 percent, compared with increases of approximately 2.0 percentage points in 1999 and 2000.8 Thus the divergence between NIH and other agencies' research budgets did not widen as much in 2001 as it had in the several preceding years.
