FY2027 $18.80B, FY2026 $24.40B. This is the agency total, not a sum of the parsed lines.


## What this funds

FY 2025 reflects the funding amount specified in Public Law 119-4, Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and FY 2026 reflects the funding amount specified in Public Law 119-74, Commerce, Justice, Science; Energy and Water Development; and Interior and Environment Appropriations Act, 2026. The FY 2027 budget proposes no funding for NASA's Office of STEM Engagement (OSTEM) including its four projects: National Space Grant College and Fellowship Project (Space Grant), Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR), Minority University Research and Education Project (MUREP), and Next Generation STEM project (Next Gen STEM). NASA's primary role is space exploration and, similar to prior generations that were inspired by the Apollo lunar landings, NASA will inspire the next generation of explorers through exciting, ambitious space missions. No funding is requested for Space Grant, EPSCoR, MUREP, and Next Gen STEM. NASA proposes to use unobligated balances previously appropriated under this heading to support the funding of grants previously awarded by OSTEM.
