The other main part of the NSF budget, that devoted to education, is being cut even more.  A few years ago Congress passed a bill that was supposed to double the NSF budget over several years,  but that bill is now very much no longer operative.  It&#8217;s not clear yet how physics and math specifically fare under this new budget, presumably we&#8217;ll find out in the next few days.<\/p>\n<p>The bulk of particle physics funding comes from the DOE Office of Science, and there the budget situation is brighter, with an increase of 2.8% for FY 2005.  Again, the details of exactly what is being funded and what isn&#8217;t should soon be available.<\/p>\n<p>Update:  More about the new NSF and DOE budgets can be found <A href=\"http:\/\/www.aip.org\/fyi\/2004\/149.html\">here<\/A> and <A href=\"http:\/\/www.aip.org\/fyi\/2004\/151.html\">here<\/A>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Congress has finally gotten around to producing a budget for fiscal year 2005.
