"The National Science Foundation, however, would see a steep reduction in new spending legislation." 

"House Republican appropriators would cut NOAA by nearly $400 million for fiscal 2026, but they’re rejecting deeper reductions proposed by the White House.

The Commerce-Justice-Science bill — released Monday and up for subcommittee markup Tuesday — represents a blowback to the administration’s efforts to dismantle the science agency, including dissolving the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research.

The legislation would still amount to a 6 percent cut from current levels, and Republicans focused more on its law enforcement portions than science provisions.

“This bill importantly balances federal funding to support American values and the priorities of the Trump Administration by investing in programs that strengthen our economy and policies that protect our constitutional rights,” said Rep. Hal Rogers (R-Ky.), chair of the Commerce, Justice and Science Appropriations Subcommittee."
