2026 Budget Request includes a steep proposed reduction to NSF's funding. If
enacted, this would affect many programs, including CAREER. However, the budget
request represents one of multiple possible scenarios and the President's
Budget Request is not the only or last step in the federal budget process.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;line-height:13.8pt;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Garamond,serif"> </span></p>

Request under "Emphasis Programs," with a "0%" and a dash
in the FY 2026 request column, this does not mean that the CAREER program is
being eliminated. It has to do with reductions in funds for broadening
participation, and some portion of the CAREER budget counts in that category.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;line-height:13.8pt;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Garamond,serif"> </span></p>

wondering if it makes sense to save your limited CAREER tickets for a better
budget year. Unfortunately, just as we can't predict the outcome of the FY 2026
budget, future budgets are also uncertain. This reinforces our suggestion to
submit when you are ready.  </span></p>

proposals. Writing a CAREER or Small Core proposal, for example, helps clarify
your research ideas and long-term goals. The number of proposals submitted is
one indication of the research community's ideas and capacity to receive
funding. For junior researchers — and many of the rest of us — proposals often
need a couple of iterations with feedback from reviewers to be successful.
Receiving feedback from a review panel is a valuable step toward refining your
research agenda and sharpening your grant writing skills.  </span></p>
