controlling Quantum world 00 the Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency DARPA does not maintain a specific program in AMo science. Rather, it involves this work in its characteristic multidisciplinary way as a part of achieving its mission for the DoD (see Appendix D)

aPPendix B 0 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY the average grant sizes in the Doe's Atomic Molecular and optical Sciences (AMoS) program are about $137,000 per year for experiment (ranging from about $64,000 to $200,000)

controlling Quantum world 0 the NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION the NASA Laboratory Astrophysics program focuses entirely on atomic and molecular spectroscopy relevant to its overall mission of space exploration. the size of the program is ~$3 million per year, and its focus ranges across wavelengths from x rays to the submillimeter.

From page 203... ...
aPPendix B 0 in spite of these increases, the number of grants supported at the top quality levels has declined a bit. the reason for this is that the experimental program has given priority to increasing grant size as opposed to increasing the number of awards.
