The DoD's budget request for FY1997 included over $89 billion for O&M accounts, about 37% of DoD's request. DoD estimates that in FY2001, O&M will represent about 36% of its total budget. Because O&M funds represent the largest share of DoD's budget, this report (1) determined how annual funding relates to military and civilian personnel levels through FY2001, (2) identified overall trends from FY1985 to 2001, and (3) identified key drivers (areas in which most money has been budgeted) through FY2001. Explains the reasons for major changes in funding due to migrations of funds between O&M programs and activities. Charts and tables.

Since 1992 the Department of Defense (DOD), through the U.S. Army Medical Research and Material Command, has received congressionally earmarked appropriations for programs of biomedical research on prostate, breast, and ovarian cancer; neurofibromatosis; tuberous sclerosis; and other health problems. Appropriations for these Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs are used to support peer reviewed extramural research project, training, and infrastructure grants. Congress has become concerned about funding increases for these programs given current demands on the military budget. At the request of Congress, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) examined possibilities of augmenting program funding from alternative sources. The resulting IOM book, Strategies to Leverage Research Funding: Guiding DOD's Peer Reviewed Medical Research Programs, focuses on nonfederal and private sector contributions that could extend the appropriated funds without biasing the peer review project selection process.
