Fiscal Year 2024 President’s Budget Request Released
Lewis-Burke Associates, LLC – March 29, 2023
On March 9, 2023, President Biden released his budget proposal for fiscal year (FY) 2024 which included $1.9 trillion in discretionary spending, close to a 10 percent increase compared to the FY 2023 enacted level. This would include $842 billion for defense spending and $1.02 trillion for non-defense. Overall, the proposed budget would increase funding for Administration priorities in research and development, technology, climate and environment, manufacturing, education, and healthcare programs. A notable exception to this is a $4.2 billion (or nearly 20 percent) proposed cut in DOD’s Science and Technology programs for the basic, applied, and advanced technology development accounts (6.1-6.3), as the administration focuses on prioritizing the prototyping and deployment of new technologies.
