The Cost of Cutting Funding to US Scientific Research
Public servants in science, health, and the environment help make America safer and stronger.
Experts warn that decades of progress are at risk due to indiscriminate cuts to federal science agencies, programs, and workforces.
Significant funding cuts include a 27.4% decrease for National Parks and Public Lands, a 23.4% decrease for Scientific Discovery and Technological Innovation agencies, and a 78.9% decrease for Environmental Research and Innovation grants.
The Partnership for Public Service emphasizes the need to protect federal science investments because these investments have led to major achievements and disrupting funding harms critical scientific work.
