What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project EMR-01 of PE 0601122E. This is the budget justification's own description of work that has not happened yet — the one thing no other level of the budget carries.
- Award FY 2027 cooperative agreements for new two-year research efforts across YFA topic areas, establishing a new set of scientific approaches to solve current DoW challenges. - Continue FY 2026 research on new concepts for microsystem, biological, strategic, and tactical technologies; information innovation; and defense sciences by exercising second year funding and by providing continued mentorship by program managers. - Award Director's Fellowships for top FY 2025 participants to refine technology further and align to DoW needs.
The FY 2027 decrease reflects minor program repricing.
FY2026: the year under way
Prior-year accomplishments and current-year plans from the same exhibit. Context for the FY2027 plan, not a series — an activity partitions its project exactly in the request year, but can under-cover it in earlier years.
- Award FY 2026 cooperative agreements for new two-year research efforts across YFA topic areas, establishing a new set of scientific approaches to solve current DoW challenges. - Continue FY 2025 research on new concepts for microsystem, biological, strategic, and tactical technologies; information innovation; and defense sciences by exercising second year funding and by providing continued mentorship by program managers. - Award Director's Fellowships for top FY 2024 participants to refine technology further and align to DoW needs.
Three years, and no five-year plan
An R-2A activity publishes the prior year, the current year and the budget year. The FYDP outyears exist at project and program-element level and are deliberately absent here rather than inferred. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | Enacted | 16.2 |
| FY2027 | Request | 16.0 |
This activity is 8.2% of project EMR-01's FY2027 request and 4.1% of PE 0601122E's. In the request year the activities under a project sum to it exactly; in the current year they under-cover it in about 9% of cases, so an activity's delta can legitimately exceed its parent's and the two must not be compared row to row.

Every R-2A line of this project, largest FY2027 request first. Linked where the activity has enough of its own narrative to carry a page; the rest are shown in full on the project page.
