- White House offers 2026 budget cuts
The White House proposed significant cuts to discretionary programs for fiscal year 2026, emphasizing a shift in spending priorities.
Why it matters: The Administration says the cuts will save trillions of dollars over the next decade.
What's In the Budget:
- Cuts $18 billion from NIH.
- Eliminates CDC programs for cancer and chronic disease reporting programs, and the Public Health Preparedness and Response program.
- Does not provide specific information on resources that the FDA will receive.
The big picture: The budget reflects the administration's focus on national security while reducing the size of government.
What's next: Congress will review the proposal, but lawmakers are expected to develop their own spending plan.
