      abstract = {Over the years, proposals have recommended shifting the  focus of public agricultural
research from applied to basic  research, and giving higher priority to  peer-reviewed,
competitively funded grants. The public  agricultural research system in the United States is a  Federal-State partnership, with most research conducted at  State institutions. In recent years, State funds have  declined, USDA funds have remained fairly steady (with  changes in the composition of funding), but funding from  other Federal agencies and the private sector has  increased. Efforts to increase competitively awarded funds  for research
have fluctuated over time, as have special  grants (earmarks). Along with shifts in funding sources,  the proportion of basic research being undertaken within  the public agricultural research system has declined. This  report focuses on the way public agricultural research is  funded in the United States and how changes in funding  sources over the last 25 years reflect changes in the type  of research pursued.},
