FASEB Statement in Response to FY 2026 Administration Budget Request

Wednesday, May 7, 2025
FASEB issued a statement expressing grave concern about the administration’s preliminary fiscal year (FY) 2026 budget request. If enacted, the proposed 40 and nearly 60 percent cuts to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF), respectively, will severely erode progress in biomedical and biological research. FASEB is also urging the scientific community to contact Congress to ask them to reject the administration’s budget and approve FASEB’s FY 2026 funding requests instead.
