National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya is appearing in front of the Senate Appropriations Committee Wednesday, starting at 10 a.m. ET, to discuss President Trump’s budget proposal for the 2027 fiscal year.
That budget, released in April, proposed cutting the agency’s budget by $5 billion and eliminating five of its 27 institutes. Those proposals are unlikely to be enacted, given lawmakers’ strong rebuke of Trump’s 2026 proposal, which called for even steeper cuts. While the most drastic proposals have not manifested, the biomedical research community is still under intense stress.
