Science Funding

U.S. Capital

Each year the President is responsible for preparing the Government’s budget for the next fiscal year and presenting it to Congress, as dictated by the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921. Planning for the budget requires evaluation of funding demands across the different federal departments and agencies, often prioritizing between different interests and goals. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) plays a critical role in advising the President as he decides his spending priorities, and helps compile information from all of the departments and agencies with regard to their missions and budgetary needs. Once the requests from the departments and agencies have been prioritized and compiled into the President’s official budget proposal, it is sent through the appropriate channels of Congress. After consideration and passage through the House and Senate, the two will meet in Conference Committee to reconcile any differences between the two versions of the bill and agree on the conference mark. After the conferenced bill has been passed by both the House and the Senate, it is sent to the President for signature or veto.
