Federal budget requests for fiscal year 1998 project increases for the NIH and NSF but a decrease for the VA
The initial budget request from the Clinton administration for the 1998 fiscal year is recommending $13.1 billion for the NIH, including a 3.9% rate of growth in funding for research project grants over the past fiscal year. The increase for research and related activities at the NSF is 3.4%, to a total request of $2.5 billion. In contrast, the Medical and Prosthetic Research Program at the Department of Veterans Affairs was reduced by 10.5% from last year, to a level of $234.4 million overall. More than half of the budget proposal for the NIH would be allocated to research project grants. The increase proposed for NINDS is almost 3%, while the increase for NIMH is almost 4%, and for the NIA, about 2%.
