Current-dollar federal obligations for research decreased 9.0% between FY 2010 and FY 2011 ($63.7 billion to $58.0 billion). This decline resulted from the last of the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act stimulus funds being obligated in FY 2010. Research obligations are estimated to remain relatively flat at $58.1 billion in FY 2012 and are projected to increase by $1.9 billion (3.3%) to $60.0 billion in FY 2013. Data are from the Survey of Federal Funds for Research and Development.
