The Indonesian government allocated Rp 6.09 trillion (approximately US$410 million based on the exchange rate at the time of writing) to the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) in the 2022 State Budget (APBN). This comprised Rp 3.03 trillion for science and technology research and innovation programs, and Rp 3.06 trillion for management support programs.

This budget represents a transfer of funds from several institutions into BRIN's budget under code BA 124. The transferred budget allocations include: Rp 1.03 trillion from the Ministry of Research and Technology/BRIN (BA 042), Rp 1.82 trillion from LIPI (BA 079), Rp 773.9 billion from BATAN (BA 080), Rp 1.62 trillion from BPPT (BA 081), and Rp 848 billion from LAPAN (BA 082). The integration of these five research institutions into BRIN has been completed.

A second phase involved the integration of research institutions across 28 ministries/agencies (K/L), completed by the end of last year. The integration of the remaining six K/Ls is targeted for completion by the end of January 2022.

BRIN is a government agency responsible for integrated research, development, study, application, invention, and innovation. BRIN also monitors, controls, and evaluates the duties and functions of Regional Research and Innovation Agencies (BRIDA).

BRIN was established under Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 33 of 2021, later revised by Perpres Number 78 of 2021 concerning the National Research and Innovation Agency, which aims to integrate all research institutions in Indonesia, including those within ministries/agencies (K/L).
