What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 0000 of PE 0602861N. 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.
This project provides for all labor costs of ONR Headquarters in support of the Navy S&T program. The funds in this project pay the salaries of Scientific and Engineering and corporate business personnel who direct the execution of the Navy's basic research, applied research, and advanced technology development programs at the nation's universities/colleges, Navy laboratories, Warfare Centers, and private industry. This project provides for all basic labor costs of ONR activities in support of the entire Navy S&T program.
The FY26 to FY27 reduction is due to OUSW Directed CIVPER Saving.
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.

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) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 92.3 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 72.1 |
| FY2027 | Request | 62.2 |
This activity is 100% of project 0000's FY2027 request and 84% of PE 0602861N'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.
