The reported Army funding reflects only the ARO budget available for University proposal submission, not the total basic research funding. For the Navy, about 25% of the reported total basic research funding is provided to the Naval Research Laboratory and is not available for University proposal submission. For the Air Force, about 30% is provided to the AF Research Laboratories.
