BREAKING: NSF has frozen all grant funding, as of yesterday. It's unclear when they will resume funding awards, or why the pause has been put in place. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Has anyone received new guidance on appeals today? NSF updated their FAQs about the appeals 🤬 and I’d like to update my campus folks about options (#16 - www.nsf.gov/updates-on-p...). I’m so sorry this is happening and appreciate all the comms on processes!

ICE your rights in English

Los Angeles peeps—spread the word about ICE.
We won’t know for sure until it happens, but better safe than sorry. Be prepared.
A screenshot of an FDA document titled "FDA-2024-D-4245" issued by the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, Center for Devices and Radiological Health, and Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. The document includes a highlighted section stating that, per a court order, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) must restore a website by February 11, 2025. It claims that any information on the page promoting gender ideology is inaccurate and asserts that there are only two sexes, male and female. It further states that the Trump Administration rejects gender ideology and criticizes its impact on children and women. Below this, the document provides guidance on increasing female enrollment in clinical trials, analyzing sex-specific data, and ensuring generalizability in medical product studies.
Every web page ordered restored by the court that features anything related to gender now contains this notice.

The Stonewall Inn and The Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative are outraged and appalled by the recent removal of the word 'transgender' from the Stonewall National Monument page on the National Park Service website. This blatant act of erasure not only distorts the truth of our history, but it also dishonors the immense contributions of transgender individuals - especially transgender women of color - who were at the forefront of the Stonewall Riots and the broader fight for LGBTQ+ rights. SIGBI followed by a next arrow

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

Thank you, DOGE, for clearly visualizing what incredible value the American people get from their national parks. 17,700 permanent employees making an average of $81,000 a year serving 325 million visitors annually.
Is there a better value in the entire federal government?
Not just the end of American science but the purposeful destruction of post secondary education. This will decimate colleges and force an industry wide collapse just as admissions decline due to falling birth rates.
The end goal is to destroy economic mobility for women and people of color.
Update: They were removed from our reviewer assignments completely. I'm so sorry to all those graduate students. Anonymous to protect the identity of the NIH employee I spoke to...I am on study section next month to discuss F awards. We were just instructed to put the F31-Diversity applications on the bottom of our priority list for review because there is a chance we may not be able to review them. My heart is breaking for the grad students and their mentors that put so much work into these just for them to be disqualified and thrown out.
Just in case you thought that removing DEI criteria would mean that everyone is competing equally: NIH is removing grad students from underrepresented backgrounds from the applicant pool altogether. Their applications will not be considered. Other students, not from these backgrounds, will be.

If they go away, the impacts will be significant and widespread.

Lesson #1: Do not obey in advance.

100% agreed.
To add, it'd be really great if our Universities and Institutes, rather than folding like wet paper sacks, actually sued (or got their states to sue) over illegally-cancelled grant contracts that had *already been awarded and signed* by the gov't.
Your researchers are depending on you.
