"The Trump administration proposed unprecedented cuts to science agencies in 2026, only for Congress to reject those cuts and instead keep science spending relatively flat."
"In April, the Trump administration tried again, calling for the NSF's 2027 spending to fall by 55% from 2026 levels and for NOAA's and NASA's to fall by more than 27% and by 23%, respectively."
"Members of the House Appropriations Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Subcommittee voted to cut the NSF's spending in 2027 by 20% and NOAA's by 5%."
"All eight Republicans voted for the bill, while the six Democrats voted against it, advancing it to the full appropriations committee on 13 May."
The US House of Representatives is poised to reject President Trump's proposal to cut science spending. However, a House subcommittee has advanced a bill that includes significant cuts to science education and funding for agencies like the National Science Foundation. The Trump administration's budget proposal for 2027 suggests drastic reductions, including a 55% cut to NSF funding. The subcommittee voted to reduce NSF spending by 20% and NOAA's by 5%, while keeping NASA's budget stable. The bill will proceed to the full appropriations committee for further consideration.
