On February 10, 2020, the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released the Trump administration's proposed budget for the U.S. Government in Fiscal Year (FY) 2021. The proposal would reduce total funding for the National Science Foundation (NSF) by $500 million or 6.5 percent compared to FY2020 levels. A budget analysis published by NSF indicates that funding for research programs would decline by $540 million or 8 percent.
