1 FEDERAL FUNDING FOR SCIENCE AND WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT IT Howard H. Garrison American Institute of Physics Assembly of Science Officers Annual Meeting

2 Four Questions What is the broader budgetary context? Does it matter? What can we do about it? How do we make the most of our opportunities?

3 Context Matters There are often obstacles to growth These vary over time They are not impervious to change Fortune favors the prepared mind Louis Pasteur, 1854

4 Federal Budget Deficits and Surpluses, Billions $400 $200 $0 -$200 -$400 -$600 -$800 -$1,000 -$1,200 -$1,400 -$1,600 Source: The Budget of the U.S. Government

11 Context Still Matters Fiscal climate has an effect Effect may not be proportionate to the cause Budget resolutions Attitudes toward public investment

12 Would you be willing to pay $1 more in taxes for more health research? * Aug-12 Dec-12 Nov-13 Jan-15 Research!America

13 Persistence Pays Off Relationships are built Attitudes change Opportunities emerge

14 Congressional staffers are more familiar with NIH and feel more favorably towards NIH compared to voters AAMC DC Congressional Omnibus Survey Congressional Staffers June % 70% 50% 31% 4% 8% Registered Voters Congressional Staff Favorable Unfavorable Heard Of AAMC Compendium of Opinion Research Medical Research/Federal Funding October 2011

15 What Arguments Work Best? Economic benefit Foreign competition Threats to security Genuine desire to push frontiers of knowledge

16 Most convincing reason to FAVOR increasing the NIH budget AAMC Compendium of Opinion Research Medical Research/Federal Funding October 2011 DC Congressional Survey Congressional Staffers February 2006 Find new treatments and cures for diseases Improve the quality of life and save lives Reduce health care costs by developing new costefficient treatments that help reduce hospital stays Stay competitive globally Generate regional and local economic growth Prevent the loss of a generation of medical researchers to other careers Respond to an aging population with chronic diseases 1 st Choice 1 st /2 nd Choices

17 AAMC/Research Means Hope 2008 Focus Groups Reasons to Support Medical Research: The most compelling message was one of hope and the need to invest for our future Benefit to the local community was less compelling Less compelling were arguments based on economic/global competition Least effective Job creation Failure to keep pace with inflation

18 Going Forward Fight against arbitrary budget caps on investment Redouble efforts to compete for existing resources Keep up the pressure Use a variety of arguments Lead with our strength: science brings progress
