The Coalition for National Science Funding (CNSF) has written to Appropriation Committee members requesting that the National Science Foundation (NSF) receive at least $9.9 billion in funding for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026. This amount would restore NSF's funding to its FY 2023 level.
AAU signed a letter requesting Congress appropriate at least $25.43 billion for Fiscal Year 2025, an ambitious but justifiable increase that maintains development of key Artemis program elements; continues development of a balanced portfolio of science missions and research; and provides the funding growth needed to accommodate new and expanded technology development programs and scientific endeavors that will support the next generation of breakthrough research and exploration.
The Energy Sciences Coalition, of which AAU is a member, sent a letter urging appropriations leaders to provide at least $8.6 billion in FY25 for the Department of Energy Office of Science as they prepare the final FY25 Energy-Water conference bill.
