What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project PT4 of PE 0603884BP. 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.
Continue development and manufacturing of multiple vaccine candidates against biothreats. Continue test and evaluation efforts in safety and efficacy clinical trials.
FY 2026 to FY 2027 decrease is due to fewer additional manufacturing and clinical trial efforts compared to FY 2026.
FY2025–FY2026: what came before
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.
Continue development and manufacturing of multiple vaccine candidates against biothreats. Continue test and evaluation efforts in safety and efficacy clinical trials. Add manufacturing and clinical trials for plague vaccine.
Continued development and manufacturing of vaccine candidates against multiple biothreats. Continued test and evaluation efforts in safety and efficacy clinical trials. Initiated several clinical trials.
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 | 50.2 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 53.3 |
| FY2027 | Request | 31.1 |
This activity is 24% of project PT4's FY2027 request and 8.0% of PE 0603884BP'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.
