Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 Administration Research and Development Budget Priorities and Cross-Cutting ActionsFor FY2027, the five R&D budgetary priorities in this memorandum will ensure that America secures its position as the unrivaled world leader in critical and emerging technologies, including AI and quantum information S&T. Additional priorities will advance and secure America’s leadership in energy, national security, health and biotechnology, and space. Across the Federal R&D budget, agencies should prioritize the physical, biological, and engineering sciences to accelerate technological innovation and strengthen national capabilities. ^^ This memorandum also describes five high-priority crosscutting actions. These actions will revitalize America’s S&T enterprise, unleashing researchers to achieve groundbreaking discoveries. These crosscutting actions underpin the five R&D budgetary priorities and ensure agencies advance scientific progress and technological innovation to fuel economic growth and improve the lives of all Americans.
