As usual, the AAAS is the place to go for up-to-date information on research and development funding. On their website you find a detailed analysis of the 2005 S&T funding reflected in the FY 2005 omnibus spending bill.

Also from the AAAS, in conjunction with the Washington Science Policy Alliance, the AAAS is hosting a panel on Wednesday, December 1, 2004 on the “Impacts of the 2004 Election on Science and Technology.” The panel will be at AAAS headquarters in Washington, DC and while admission is free, an RSVP is required. Details here. If any Prometheus readers attend, we’d welcome a report which we will be happy to post here (with or without attribution, as you’d prefer.)
