L1415 -- New funding from DOT |
| 2002 Comments |
Line 1414: The increase was primarily
due to growth in Integrated Nano-Systems Research.
Line 1416:
The growth in Other Engineering was due to increased Institutional
support.
Lines 1430 & 1434: A major new grant from the
William Keck Foundation resulted in increased Environmental Science
research in FY 2002.
Line 1480: One-time expenditures in
Other Sciences in FY 2001 resulted in an apparent decrease in FY
2002. |
| 2001 Comments |
NSF code 018 Bioeng/Biomed Engin
reflects an increase due to adjustment of grant budget and project
periods to distribute awards more evenly, continuation of some
awards cycle each year on Sept. 1 The other increases were mainly
due to continuation of basic research awards for the next fiscal
year. |
