The budget crosscut represents the funds self-identified by USGCRP agencies as their contributions to USGCRP research activities. In addition, USGCRP leverages other agency activities not represented in the budget crosscut to accomplish its mission. For example, many of the satellite systems and observing networks that are foundational to USGCRP research were originally implemented by their sponsoring agencies for operational purposes, and thus typically are not included in the research crosscut. By leveraging capacity and cooperation, agencies make vital contributions towards USGCRP’s goal of supplying the knowledge base needed to respond to global change.

Funding amounts are shown in millions of dollars ($M) and are rounded to the nearest millions (totals reflect the rounded sum of the unrounded agency amounts).
