Federal Government Releases Fiscal Year 2027 Research Priorities
The Trump Administration released its annual memorandum on priorities for research and development (R&D) for fiscal year (FY) 2027, offering a forecast of federal agencies’ science and technology (S&T) investments in the next President’s budget request. Like prior years, the memo was developed and issued jointly by the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). The FY 2027 memorandum acknowledges the importance of the U.S. science and technology enterprise to American prosperity and the partnership of government with academia, non-profit research institutions, and, increasingly, industry and the private sector for applied research and commercialization. The White House calls for aligning federal R&D for targeted, mission-driven investments in artificial intelligence (AI), quantum science, nuclear energy, biotechnology, technology for national security, and space exploration.
