Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs
The American Innovation Act authorizes substantial multi-year funding increases for basic science research across key federal agencies including the National Science Foundation, Department of Energy Office of Science, Department of Defense science and technology programs, National Institute of Standards and Technology, and NASA Science Mission Directorate. The bill provides escalating appropriations from fiscal year 2026 through 2036 with annual Consumer Price Index adjustments thereafter, exempts these funds from sequestration, and excludes them from PAYGO budget scoring requirements.
