In March, the federal government announced that it was slashing the proposed 2017 science budget by 44%, bringing it to the lowest level in 12 years — 2.8 billion reais (US$888 million). Although cuts were made across
almost all federal ministries, the reduction in science spending hit particularly hard because the budget had already been chopped every year
since 2013.
