Released Friday, May 2, the Trump administration’s ongoing attack on science is compiled in the proposed Discretionary Budget Request.
Which cuts budgets across many agencies and institutions ranging from space, climate, education, and health, while boosting expenditure on defense.
Said to be reseting research priorities and saving billions of dollars, the new government’s strategy is to stop and cut funding for scientific inquiry.
But studies have shown that, in the United States, $1 invested in innovation generates an average return of $5.
The Trump government suggests slashing at least $36,132,000,000 from science-based organizations and agencies, therefore generating returns worth $180,656,000,000.
These are a few of the projects and organizations under danger of funding losses.
