Trump signs science funding package for NASA, NOAA, and NSF through September 2026

President Trump signed a bipartisan fiscal year 2026 spending package on January 24 that funded NASA at $24.4 billion, NOAA at $6.17 billion — $1.67 billion above his budget request — and the National Science Foundation at $8.75 billion, rejecting the deep cuts his administration had proposed. Congress passed the package after the administration's proposed 55% NSF cut and significant NASA and NOAA reductions were rejected in both chambers. The bill funded agencies through September 30, 2026.
