As expected, the Trump Administration released its FY2027 budget request today. The initial set of budget documents published this morning can be found here.
Our office will continue to provide further updates as we review the documents but some of the initial proposals are as follows:
Health and Human Services
- $111.1 billion is proposed for the entire agency, which would represent a cut of $15.8 billion, or 12.5%, below the FY2026 level.
- For NIH, the Administration is looking to cut the agency by $5 billion, to a total base funding level of approximately $41 billion.
Dept of Education
The Education Department would see a cut of $2.3 billion, or 2.9%, below the FY2026 level, for a total of $76.5 billion.
- The maximum Pell grant would remain the same at $7395. Additional funds are being proposed to fill a shortfall in the program
- Once again, the SEOG program is targeted for elimination.
- Minority Serving Institutions (MSI) programs would be cut by $354 million
- Title VI International Education Program would be eliminated (currently funded at $81 million)
National Science Foundation
Like last year’s budget proposal, this year’s also seeks to drastically cut NSF. Overall, the Administration would fund NSF at $4.0 billion, a cut of $4.8 billion, or nearly 55%.
Department of War
As expected, the Administration calls for a budget of $1.5 trillion for the agency, which would represent an increase of more than $440 billion, or 44%.
One of the priorities for the department is “maritime dominance.”
NASA
NASA would seen an overall decrease of $5.6 billion, or 23%, to $18.8 billion for FY2027.
Within NASA, the Science Mission Directorate would be cut by $3.4 billion, with 40 “low-priority” missions eliminated.
Space Tech would be cut by $297 million and the Office of STEM Engagement, where Space Grant is housed, would be cut by $143 million.
Department of Energy (DOE)
Dept of Energy would see a bump of $4.8 billion, or about 10%, to a total of $53.9 billion
The Office of Science and ARPA-E would both see cuts, with Science slated for a decrease of $1.1 billion and a $150- million cut targeted for ARPA-E.
NOAA
The Administration is once looking to cut NOAA, with the FY2027 budget calling for a $1.6-billion decrease and proposing to fund the agency at $4.0 billion.
Dept of Interior
Interior is being targeted for a cut of $2.3 billion, or nearly 13%, and would receive a total of $15.9 billion in FY2027 under this budget.
