Maintains World Leading Research through the CHIPS and Science Act Investments.

At the National Science Foundation (NSF), these investments include support for regional innovation programs, investments in emerging technologies—such as artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum information science—and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce programs. Funding for Commerce’s National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) would support activities responsive to the Administration’s executive Order 14110, “Safe, Secure and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence” and fund construction and maintenance of research and development facilities. In the Department of energy’s (DOE) Office of Science, the Budget supports AI, high performance computing to improve climate modeling, clean energy technologies including fusion, and positions the United States to meet the demand for isotopes.
