The annual spending law that funds the federal science agencies, offices, and accounts through the end of fiscal year 2016 provides significant growth for the physical sciences.
Below is a compilation of budget charts capturing the outcomes for the major science agencies and offices in the fiscal 2016 year-end spending law. Click a given subheading to link to more detailed information about the outcome for that agency, office or account. FYI published an overview analysis of the FYÂ 2016 appropriations law here . Yesterday, the White House announced that the President will release his FYÂ 2017 budget request on Feb.
