Energy discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Energy's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
Supports fundamental research and scientific user facilities to achieve a predictive understanding of complex biological and earth systems, advancing biotechnology, biological and environmental modeling, and secure supplies of critical minerals and materials.
Extracted from Energy Programs, p. 17. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
