Trump proposes massive cuts to research spending

扫码查看
President Donald Trump alarmed science leaders last week when he asked Congress to make unprecedented cuts to the 2026 budgets of major federal science agencies. The 2 May request calls for cutting spending by more than one-third at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and by more than half at the National Science Foundation (NSF) and NASA's science office. It also eliminates most federal spending on climate and ecological research. The proposed science cuts would be part of an overall 23%, $163 billion cut to nondefense discretionary spending-a roughly 15% sliver of the $7 trillion federal spending pie. In contrast, the thinly detailed budget request calls for hefty increases in spending on defense and homeland security in the 2026 fiscal year that begins on 1 October.
