AAAS R&D Funding Update The latest American Academy for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) analyses of R&D in the FY 2006 federal budget show that in appropriations action so far, Congress would diverge from Bush Administration priorities by adding funds to Department of Defense, Science and Technology, and Department of Energy, Office of Science funding but would generally make only minor modifications to the President's request. The result would be some changes in priorities but declining or flat funding for most federal R&D programs after adjusting for expected inflation. Continually updated analyses of R&D in FY 2006 House and Senate appropriations so far, describing the impact of congressional appropriations proposals on the federal R&D portfolio, are available on the AAAS web site. As Congress works feverishly on appropriations before a July 4 recess, the "FY 2006 R&D" and "What's New" pages of the AAAS R&D web site are being updated daily. As of June 22, the House has drafted appropriations for all 12 of the largest R&D funding agencies, while the Senate has lagged behind slightly in drafting appropriations for 4 of the 12. AAAS R&D Funding Updates for all of these agencies are now available, and several more will be added by the end of June. Also available on the AAAS R&D web site is a continually Updated Table on the Status of FY 2006. Appropriations which summarizes appropriations actions so far and their impacts on federal R&D funding.

Deadline: Aug. 25. Science and Engineering Information Integration and Informatics The National Science Foundation invites applications for the Science and Engineering Information Integration and Informatics (SEIII) program. The SEIII program focuses on advancing the state of the art in the application of advanced information technology to science and engineering problems in specific domains, such as astronomy, biology, the geosciences, public health and health care delivery. Since many scientific problems have common needs for information management and data analysis, the advancement of these technologies is central to SEIII. Similarly, within computer science, the study of complex distributed computer and network systems requires the collection and analysis of timely, accurate and reliable information. Although methods for the analysis of scientific data and information will be supported by the program, a special emphasis will be placed on domain-specific and general-purpose tools for integrating information from disparate sources. Such integration is a key step of many projects yet is rarely addressed in full generality. The SEIII program will have two separate components to address these research areas: Science and Engineering Informatics and Information Integration. Deadline: Dec. 15. WEB LINK.
