The Computing Research Association blog has a post on the National Science Foundation's slice from the 2008 financial year budget (FY08). This should be of interest to readers of this blog. 

The short story is as follows.

• The NSF received a 6.8% increase over the FY07 request.
• Research and Related Activities: 7.7%.
• Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE): 9.0%.
• Computing and Communication Foundation (CCF): 21.4%.

The budget has to be approved by the congress.
