The request builds on the budget blueprint released in March and proposes dramatic cuts to domestic government programs across federal agencies in order to increase defense spending. The submission of the president’s budget request comes as Congress has already begun work on FY 2018 appropriations and the advocacy community has already engaged congressional champions to protect key programs. While the drastic cuts proposed in the request are unlikely to be enacted into law, the budget request provides information on agency plans as well as early insight on Trump Administration research priorities. There are several key programs for Purdue that are impacted by this request, but please keep in mind it is a starting point. We will be coordinating with Debbie on the legislative strategy, and I expect we will have several calls to determine the next steps for protecting your critical programs. I will follow up when I’m back in DC and you have had a chance to review the document.
