The Trump Administration is expected to release its FY26 budget request in late May or early June. This blog entry will track FY26 appropriations developments for NIH, NSF, and AHRQ and so will be updated accordingly. (See log updates below.) See also AAAS initial summary.
Because this blog entry covers everything from the budget request to the final determination of the budget, it can become quite long. To help with that, I'll try to partition the blog entry:
