Senate, House offer sharp differences in NSF’s FY 26 budget prospects
The nearly status quo nature of the FY 2026 budget of $9.0 billion for the National Science Foundation advanced by the Senate Appropriations Committee stands in striking contrast to the Administration’s $3.9 billion request. House appropriations, meanwhile, appropriated $7.0 billion for NSF, a reduction of $2.06 billion or 23% from the FY 2025 enacted level. The fate of the popular Regional Innovation Engines program, as well as NSF’s entire R&D funding portfolio, remains in play for a future conference bill.
