In 2025, there were over 1,300 grant cuts with no warning. $700 million in unspent funds were eliminated. The fallout? Thousands of jobs lost, critical research projects abandoned, and years of STEM education wiped out.

See the alarming extent of NIH and NSF funding cuts in 2025

In 2025, the Trump administration froze or ended about 5,300 NIH and NSF research grants totaling over $5 billion in unspent funds, a decision that reshaped many fields of science.

A key lesson of the past year is that whatever is written down and passed into law will require continued vigilance to ensure that what is appropriated is spent in the manner, means, and time expected by the American people.

This proposed budget as a statement of what the R&D landscape should look like is positive for science, economic activity, and oversight, especially in light of 2025 disruption of the basic operation of America's R&D. Next: will this become law and will the law be enforced?

Impoundment: "[S]hall not be subject to reductions or reprogramming without prior approval of the Committees." In case of planned RIFs: "[S]hall notify the Committees by letter no later than 45 days in advance." Of course Committees could approve on both counts... (more on that in a moment)

Other pluses include a preamble that engages explicitly with the "reprogramming" and/or "reductions" of funds as well as some traction on RIFs. Will it be seen through? Unsure.

Initial takeaway of (complex) FY26 Congress budget bill is positive on multiple fronts... rules.house.gov/sites/evo-su... ... including a bottom-line $8.75B for NSF. This is a small cut relative to FY24/5 (modulo inflation) with a bigger cut to STEM, but nothing like the WH proposed cut of $5B+.
