NIH is one research funding source and SUNY is one school system. I am wondering about the overall trend. How is it dicking with the budget when you get the same amount as last year? Not a lot of people can say that these days.


The Atlantic did a piece on decrease in government funding trends back in january: http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2013/01/the-38-s...

And Think Progress shows some stats on another indicator of decrease in government funding trends (tuition hikes): http://thinkprogress.org/education/2013/03/19/1741231/states...

The Kansas City Fed also did a report on a periphery indicator of decrease in government funding trends (student loan defaults) and more: http://www.kansascityfed.org/publicat/reswkpap/pdf/rwp%2012-...

And when you consider that universities have been raising their tuition prices by 5%+ per year for decades, if they get the same check as they received last year means that they will have less money to spend.
