Trump Has Cut Science Funding to Its Lowest Level in Decades The lag in funding extends far beyond D.E.I. initiatives, affecting almost every area of science: chemistry, computing, engineering, materials and more.

People in local communities don't see how science impacts them. We must communicate how science impacts everyone. These cuts will be catastrophic. The US will lag behind other nations in scientific discoveries that save lives and positively impact people in the US. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

NIH said to have halted awarding of new grants to top universities Universities whose NIH funding has been frozen may face further strain as the agency holds off awarding new grants to at least a half dozen of them, according to an internal email.

STAT story about freezing all payments to Columbia, Harvard, Brown, Northwestern, Cornell, and Cornell-Weill Medicine.

Hi Kate-- I'm really sorry to hear this. If NIH terminations are any guide, we expect NSF terminations to be chaotic, so we're trying to track them and organize the information. If don't mind, please have your team enter their grants here:

And please spread the word.

Are you funded by #NIH, #NSF or #CDC? Please post any letters or communications you’ve received from these agencies or HHS about restrictions on grant funding, publications etc. I want to catalog all of them for the record. #medsky #episky

Several co-authors and I wrote a couple of articles like this when we were all assistant professors. One was published by The American Sociological Association and another by American Sociologist. We focused on sociology. Glad to see someone doing a recent version!!
