US EditionTrump’s budget proposes steep cuts to NIH, health funding
- President Trump proposed the Fiscal Year 2026 budget on May 2, 2025, in Arlington, Va., with significant cuts to federal health spending including NIH and SAMHSA programs.
- The proposal follows earlier drafts and aims to reduce non-defense discretionary spending by over $163 billion, partly by reorganizing SAMHSA programs under a new HHS entity.
- Key cuts include nearly $18 billion from NIH and approximately $1.1 billion from SAMHSA, amid broader reductions across HHS and consolidation of multiple health programs.
- NAMI’s Chief Advocacy Officer Hannah Wesolowski warns that substantial funding reductions could severely undermine essential research and programs supporting individuals with mental illness, and she calls on Congress to maintain financial support for mental health initiatives and criminal justice diversion efforts.
- If enacted, the budget could substantially harm mental health services, increase negative outcomes, and affect families nationwide, while Congress retains control over final spending decisions.
