American Innovation Act

HR 7745, the American Innovation Act, authorizes significant annual funding for federal science and technology programs through fiscal year 2035. It sets specific funding levels for the National Science Foundation ($9.74B in 2025, increasing to $17.04B by 2033), the Department of Energy’s Office of Science, Department of Defense science programs ($21.90B in 2025, rising to $41.09B by 2034), the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and NASA’s Science Mission Directorate. Funding for each agency increases annually through 2034, then adjusts each year by the Consumer Price Index for future years. The bill exempts these appropriations from sequestration and specifies that funds remain available until expended.
