Conventional wisdom--no FY '09 appropriations until early spring in '09. Likely continuing resolution until after the election to see what happens in November elections--POTUS and congressional makeup. Regardless, April seems to be mentioned as when a non-CR type of approp bill(s) may emerge.
In case you're keeping score, here's where things stand as of today. I have spared the day-by-day, ebb and flow of the FY '09 approps process thus far because of what I just wrote above. However these House and Senate actions are not exercises in futility in that the parameters for decisions will be set based upon what's done before the election.
Here's a link to R&D and higher ed interested agency status thanks to the kind folks at AAU that consolidate the info into a nice table. Membership has its privileges. http://www.aau.edu/budget/09Priorities.pdf
