This forward funding scheme means that the cuts are even deeper. It means billions will effectively be put in escrow and won't actually be spent on research for a number of years to come. It means that you're effectively cutting research funding next year by another $7 billion on top of the $18 billion cut you propose. And it means that next year NIH would award a fraction of the grants it has. Historically. Your budget already proposes to award 15,000 fewer research grants next year. (02:54–03:06)
