With FY26 federal appropriations bills now signed into law, the R&D funding outlook is brighter than initially feared. Compared to the drastic cuts that were proposed in the spring, the bills show some increases, flat funding, or relatively small reductions for R&D.

⚛️ The U.S. “has been investing in science for 80 years, and could tear a lot of that down with the stroke of one signature,” the CEO of @aaas.org told SciFri a year ago. Here’s what's happening with federal funding for science now.
One Year Into Trump’s Term, Where Does Science Funding Stand?

The NYT published a story that highlights how Congress has pulled back from the PBR's proposed cuts. The numbers show more favorable outcomes in the House and Senate for R&D. Damage was done in 2025, but these potential funding outcomes are better than what was feared.

Man, I love the sciences and Science Magazine (@science.org).
If you can, give to the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Science needs funding. Science needs the advocacy and scholarship that AAAS provides.
You can help.
