R&D Funding HistoryR&D Funding History 1996 - Newt Gingrich’s Contract With
America NIH 2x over 7 years Much of new medical technology is
built on traditional science and engineering!
Where is the equivalent funding increase for traditional science and engineering?
Government funding of R&D over the years has decreased significantly.
