    “On Tuesday Operating the Mars Rover, on Friday Working at Starbucks”

    February 26th, 2013
    This Friday a machete will be taken to the federal budget, unless another last-minute budget deal is reached. Years of failed congressional wrangling will yield across the board cuts of 8.2% for domestic discretionary spending. The cuts are much deeper than initially designed because they have been delayed for several months and now an entire year’s worth of cuts totaling $85 billion have to be squeezed into the remaining seven months of the fiscal year ending on September 30th 2013. This 8.2% cut would result in $3.78 billion in lost federal R&D dollars across multiple agencies critical to not just the biotechnology industry, but also academia and all research institutions. These cuts would stand to permanently dent American research initiatives. To put things in perspective, here is breakdown of what each agency stands to lose: National Institutes of Health (NIH) – $2,516,580,000 Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) – $467,400,000 Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (ARHQ) – $30,504,000 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) – $200,900,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) – $565,800,000 These numbers are for 2013 alone.
