That's about right.

There was a time when folks in the Internet community rotated in and out of Program Manager slots at DARPA (can you say Licklider, Kahn, Cerf, Taylor, Roberts, ...) and an awful lot of folks had a lot of input to various research and funding agendas. Not so much anymore. Networking related topics seem to have fallen off the list on the BAAs and SBIR solicitations I see - there's certainly important work to be done, but folks don't seem to be promoting a research agenda as much. (Well somewhat at lower levels of the protocol stack, but application stuff seems to have really dried up.)
