This update reflects full NSF FY 2019 budget request details, which were released on February 28. NSF would be provided with $7.472 billion in funding, essentially flat with FY 2017 levels. The budget request would prioritize the ten Big Ideas for Future Investment, devoting $342 million in new funding across all ten Big Ideas, while individual research divisions would see cuts ranging from 1 to 11 percent. Big Ideas funding would be available to support research, education, and infrastructure across all NSF-supported disciplines. The attached analysis contains information on Big Ideas plans and other proposed signature investments, as well as proposed reductions, including to several Obama-era initiatives that were already slated to wind down, Graduate Research Fellowships, CAREER awards, and several education programs.
