Dear Professors,

Here is an analysis of the Federal budget proposal as interpreted by Lewis-Burke, the consulting company Purdue has hired to be closer to Washington policy and funding.  FYI.

Thanks,
Ron

Subject: Budget Update: Analysis of the President’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 Budget Request for Federal Research, Health, and Education Programs

Good evening,

Attached is an analysis prepared by Lewis-Burke Associates LLC outlining President Trump’s proposed FY 2018 budget request for federal research, education, and health programs.  The request builds on the budget blueprint released in March and proposes dramatic cuts to domestic government programs across federal agencies in order to increase defense spending.  The submission of the president’s budget request comes as Congress has already begun work on FY 2018 appropriations and the advocacy community has already engaged congressional champions to protect key programs.  While the drastic cuts proposed in the request are unlikely to be enacted into law, the budget request provides information on agency plans as well as early insight on Trump Administration research priorities.

There are several key programs for Purdue that are impacted by this request, but please keep in mind it is a starting point.  We will be coordinating with Debbie on the legislative strategy, and I expect we will have several calls to determine the next steps for protecting your critical programs.  I will follow up when I’m back in DC and you have had a chance to review the document.

Best,
Paula
