The Trump administration’s proposed fiscal 2027 budget would sharply reduce federal support for science and research, according to reporting from Science Magazine. The plan would cut funding for the National Science Foundation by nearly 70 percent and reduce the National Institutes of Health budget by more than 40 percent.

The proposal also calls for eliminating dozens of federal education research programs, a move that could further weaken public support for long-term studies in learning, schools, and student outcomes. Critics of large-scale cuts say they risk undercutting the country’s research capacity and limiting work that informs public policy.

If enacted by Congress, the budget would mark one of the steepest federal pullbacks in recent years for scientific and education research. The proposal is still subject to the budget process and would likely face pushback from researchers, universities, and advocacy groups that depend on federal grants.

The full impact will depend on whether lawmakers adopt the administration’s plan, revise it, or reject the proposed reductions altogether.
