Title: White House Stalls Release of Approved US Science Budgets

Link: https://news.slashdot.org/story/26/02/27/2072...

An anonymous reader shares a report: Weeks after the U.S. Congress rejected
unprecedented cuts to science budgets that the administration of US President
Donald Trump had sought for 2026, funding to several agencies that award
research grants is still not freely flowing. One reason is that the White
House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has been slow to authorize its
release. The US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has so far not received
approval to spend any of the research funding allocated in a budget bill
signed into law on 3 February. The US National Science Foundation (NSF) was
authorized to spend its funding just last week. And NASA has had its full
funding authorized for release, but with an unusual restriction that limits
spending on ten specific programmes -- many of which the Trump team had tried
to cancel last year.
