Agriculture
Dear Colleague letters were sent by House and Senate members to the chairs and ranking members of the agriculture appropriations subcommittees expressing strong support for robust funding of the USDA's energy programs.
06
Defense
All programs of interest to AFCC have been fully funded; the large increase in the Defense budget by the Administration -- for the third year in a row -- most likely will have to be cut to fund the domestic programs of importance to AFCC.
There are thousands of federal funding opportunities. The National Science Foundation alone has an annual budget of over $7 billion and offers more than 12,500 funding opportunities each year.
This document lists the multitude of funding opportunities offered by federal agencies that provide stimulus to the bioeconomy. The funding opportunities are organized by each of the nine Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) that new ideas must travel – from initial concept, up through R&D, testing and validation, and first commercial introduction.
Each of these TRL steps is crucial, thus making each funding opportunity essential to the Nation’s ability to support innovation; introduce new technologies, products and services into the marketplace; enhance American's lives; and strengthen U.S. competition and global leadership.
