The Trump administration has released a series of documents outlining significant budget cuts, including $18 billion reductions to the NIH budget as part of a broader $163 billion spending cut proposal. Key elements of the plan suggest a 22 percent reduction across various departments, which has raised concerns among lawmakers. While the White House has provided some details, the budget proposal remains incomplete, prompting Congress to seek additional information. Next week is expected to be pivotal for federal budgeting as discussions intensify.
