Campus defense study boosted by Reagan budget
Reagan budget and tax bills provide a major lift to campus defense research. Federal funding for university research rises to 678 million in fiscal 1982 from 547 million, with total campus research at 4.78 billion for 1982, up from 4.52 billion in 1981. The share of defense research handled by universities grows to 44 percent by 1982. A 25 percent tax credit is included to support university research. Vietnam era protests are blamed for a long slowdown in federally funded campus defense research.
