In the past, Federal funding for scientific research, technology, and education have yielded innovations that have transformed American life-technologies like the Internet, digital photography, bar codes, Global Positioning System technology, laser surgery, and chemotherapy. Today, the United States faces a new set of challenges, and science and technology can be a powerful ally in addressing them. The 2010 Budget builds on early
accomplishments of the Obama Administration to make strategic Federal investments in research and development (R&D), 21st century technology, and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education.

Already in this Administration, the President has signed into law the 2009 Omnibus Appropriations Act (Public Law 111-8) and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Public Law 111-5). Both boosted the budgets of key programs not only for their potential contributions to economic recovery but also because science and technology can help reorient the U.S. economy through strategic investments in clean energy, broadband, health
care information technology, and education. These laws are critical down payments toward doubling Federal investments in key science agencies over a decade, meeting a Presidential commitment to invest $150 billion during the next 10 years in a clean energy future, and enhancing America’s capacity to understand the dimensions of climate change and respond to them effectively. The 2010 Budget builds on these early accomplishments with continued investments in R&D, technology, and STEM education.
