Funding for NOAA
NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) Funding Under Previous Presidents
It's important to note that NOAA's budget is determined through the annual appropriations process, and while a President can propose budget cuts, Congress ultimately decides the final funding levels.
Here's a brief overview of presidential actions impacting NOAA funding:
President Trump's Proposed Cuts (2025 - Present):
Proposed significant cuts to NOAA's budget, particularly targeting climate research.
Proposed eliminating NOAA's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR).
Proposed eliminating the National Sea Grant program.
President Obama's R&D Request (FY2010):
Requested $568 million in R&D funding for NOAA, a 7% decrease from the FY2009 appropriation level.
President Biden's Enacted Budgets (FY2023, FY2024):
Signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (Pub. L. 117-328) into law, providing $6.35B for NOAA, including $4.54B for Operations, Research and Facilities (ORF).
Signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (Pub. L. 118-42) into law, providing $6.72B for NOAA, including $4.55B for ORF.
It is important to remember that these are just a few examples and NOAA's funding has fluctuated under different administrations depending on various priorities and budgetary constraints.
