The U.S. government has shut down after failing to reach a budget deal, leaving federal funding for R&D in 2026 endangered. The U.S. House and Senate have so far rejected proposed deep cuts to R&D funding, but they must continue to push to pass full-year appropriations bills. https://bit.ly/4nwaPsl
AAAS Statement on Government Shutdown | American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
Shutting down the government is no way to unleash U.S. innovation. This act delays setting clear priorities for our nation's research enterprise and amplifies uncertainty that has enveloped the scientific community.
