PREPRINT COPYNIHComparison of 2009 request ($510 million) and 2009 estimate ($936 million): The $426 million increase is due tothe agency’s move, as mandated by Congress, to a new automated reporting process (Research, Condition, andDisease Categorization, or RDCC); the change has led to a complete recalibration of reporting in NITRD areas,which previously had been subject to differing interpretations across the independently reporting centers andinstitutes.Comparison of 2009 estimate ($936 million) and 2010 request ($950 million): The $14 million increase is due tosmall increases in several PCAs, partially offset by a small decrease in one PCA.DOEComparison of 2009 request ($465 million) and 2009 estimate ($420 million): The $45 million decrease is due to a$50 million decrease in HEC I&A, partially offset by smaller increases in other PCAs.Comparison of 2009 estimate ($420 million) and 2010 request ($468 million): The $48 million increase is largelydue to an increase of $27 million in HEC I&A for research on the challenges of extreme-scale in computingarchitectures, data management, and software to enable productive use of multicore processors for scientificapplications, and an increase of $14 million in HEC R&D to support leadership computing facilities at ANL andORNL, including enhancements to infrastructure support and preparations for next-generation computers, andsmaller increases in other PCAs.NSAComparison of 2009 request ($119 million) and 2009 estimate ($169 million): The increase of $50 million is due toa late addition of $2 million for HEC technology development and a $48 million Congressional add-on that affectsHEC R&D. In addition, an examination and re-categorization of projects previously reported in CSIA and HCSSresulted in shifts in funding between the two PCAs for FY 2009.Comparison of 2009 estimate ($169 million) and 2010 request ($102 million): The $67 million decrease is due tothe non-sustainment of 2009 Congressional add-ons, a planned decrease of $19 million in required funding supportfor the DARPA HPCS program, and smaller decreases in other PCAs.NISTComparison of 2009 estimate ($66 million) and 2010 request ($80 million): The $14 million increase is due to smallincreases in several PCAs.DOE/NNSAComparison of 2009 request ($30 million) and 2009 estimate ($18 million): The decrease of $12 million is due toreduction of the ASC program’s budget by Congress and internal NNSA decisions.NITRD Program Budget Summary by PCAUsing the information presented above, this section provides an analysis of the NITRD Program budget by PCA,summarizing the more substantial differences between 2009 requested funding and 2009 estimated spending andbetween 2009 estimated spending and 2010 requests. The changes are described above.HEC I&AComparison of 2009 request ($1,142 million) and 2009 estimate ($1,365 million): The $223 million increase islargely due to increases of $25 million at NSF and $260 million at NIH, partially offset by decreases of $15 millionat OSD and DoD Service research organizations, $50 million at DOE, and smaller decreases at other agencies.Comparison of 2009 estimate ($1,365 million) and 2010 request ($1,396 million): The $31 million increase islargely due to an increase of $27 million at DOE, and smaller increases at other agencies.HEC R&DComparison of 2009 request ($492 million) and 2009 estimate ($501 million): The $9 million increase reflects an24 NITRD Supplement to the President’s FY 2010 Budget
