POTUS released a skinny FY 2026 budget, proposing to drastically cut funding for federal R&D across several agencies. AAAS urges Congress to reject the budget and to reaffirm their long-standing bipartisan support for S&T investments. Read the full statement: www.aaas.org/news/preside...
A graphic with the AAAS logo and a quote from the AAAS CEO reading, "Make no mistake, if Congress enacts the President’s skinny budget, the consequences for the future of our nation will be catastrophic. The United States will no longer be in the global race for R&D leadership—we will have lost it...It is up to our federal lawmakers to reaffirm their long-standing bipartisan support for science and technology investment by rejecting this budget."
