Researchers involved with NOAA's cooperative institutes are concerned about a new proposal from the White House Office of Management and Budget that would significantly cut funding for climate research and reorganize NOAA. This could lead to the termination of cooperative institutes funding, impacting hundreds of researchers and their projects across the U.S. Although the proposed plan remains hypothetical pending Congressional approval, uncertainty looms over the budget for fiscal 2025, raising fears about irreversible damage to climate research and job security.
A new proposal from the White House Office of Management and Budget would dramatically reorganize NOAA and gut most of its climate research programs in fiscal 2026.
Experts worry that funding for the remainder of fiscal 2025 is still in question. Once a certain amount of damage is done, it's not recoverable.
