Decreases from NASA, Dept of Ed. |
| 2002 Comments |
Line 1417: Industry-sponsored research
in materials science increased in FY 2002.
Line 1416: The FY
2002 increase is due primarily to a new contract from the Department
of Energy.
Line 1424: The decrease in Other Physical Sciences
is primarily due to the conclusion of a large DOD
contract.
Line 1434: Other Environmental Sciences research
decreased in FY 2002 due to the closure of two large NASA
awards.
Line 1441: The Mathematics department experienced
reductions in research expenditures funded by NSF and Institutional
sources. |
| 2001 Comments |
NSF CODE 024 increases seem to fall
across the spectrum of semiconductor, quantum, polymer diodes and
nonoscale bolometers new research. NSF CODE 042 new expenditures
seem to fall into research for autonomous transportation by Calif
Dept of Transportation. New research includes structure preserving
algorithms & Model reduction, and research for manageing fire
hazards at the Urban-Wildlands Interface. NSF CODE 080 increases
in research funds for biological control of invasive green crabs,
aquatic nuisance species research & outreach. NSF CODE 053
decrease represents correction of codes from previous year.
