? National Science Foundation (NSF). Funding for biological research would increase by $48.3 million.
? National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
   Intramural and extramural research would both increase.
? United States Geological Survey (USGS). Biological and ecosystems research would receive a 14.2 percent increase.

 

Biological and ecological research provides the scientific basis to address the nation’s most challenging issues. These include food security and energy needs, maintaining vital resources such as freshwater, and coping with emerging wildlife diseases that also affect people. The biological sciences (e.g. botany, zoology, microbiology, ecology, molecular and cellular biology, systematics, and taxonomy) inform our understanding of these issues while inspiring innovative research and new economic opportunities.

 

Numerous federal agencies conduct and support biological and ecological research. Intramural research is conducted at mission-driven agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

Federal agencies also support extramural research programs that complement the work government scientists conduct. The National Science Foundation (NSF) is the primary funder of fundamental, non-medical biological science, supporting 64 percent of this research at universities and non-profit research institutions.
