"The hardest-hit agencies, like the National Science Foundation (NSF) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), will see their budgets slashed in half. Even agencies that might be otherwise popular, like the National Institutes of Health (NIH), will see $5 billion taken from its $47 billion budget."
"In several cases, the cuts will eliminate major programs. For example, the NSF budget would be zeroed out for social science research; the NIH would lose both the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities and the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health."
"A couple of topic areas are targeted for cuts in multiple agencies. These include efforts to track and/or limit the impacts of climate change, which are targeted for cuts in a variety of agencies."
The Trump administration's proposed budget for 2027 features significant cuts to NASA and other science-focused agencies, with the National Science Foundation and Environmental Protection Agency facing the largest reductions. Popular agencies like the National Institutes of Health will also experience budget cuts. Major programs, including social science research at NSF and health initiatives at NIH, are set to be eliminated. The budget particularly targets climate change-related efforts across multiple agencies, indicating a continued political struggle over scientific funding.
