GPL Report: Educational R&D In A Tough Budget Year

Budgets are political documents. In addition to documenting intentions to spend money on programs and objects, they signal an administration's values and bargaining positions. For R&D in general the Fiscal Year 1980 Budget is a very good year. The President has singled out R&D, particularly basic research, as an important investment in the future of the nation. Educational R&D, however, though slightly increased will not likely keep up with inflation even if Congress appropriates all that is requested. The business of politics is the allocation of stakes: money, rewards, status, power, and so on. Budgetary politics provide the signals of the victorious and vanquished within the Administration. These revelations, however, are complex and must be seen in the relative light of appropriations politics on Capitol Hill. At a fairly high level of abstraction, R&D in the federal budget, educational inquiry looks to be among the vanquished. Within the world of social science and social problem research, however, educational R&D held even. The following report will concentrate on the National Institute of Education (NIE) to demonstrate how educational inquiry did in the first stage of politics of constraints. The second phase, Congressional appropriations, is just now unfolding.
