As a federal grant writer working across disciplines, sectors, and agencies, I approve this idea. Grants are highly competitive and only go to the best and brightest with real plans for impact. Americans' eyes would definitely be opened.

Science funding agency threatened with mass layoffs National Science Foundation staff heard the plans at a meeting Tuesday.

If these threats are carried out, the US should brace for a brain drain.

Fed grant writer here. What is extra insidious about "key words" culling lists leaked from agencies is not only the fascist censorship but also inclusion of mundane words like "barrier" and "ability" commonly used in any proposal. They will defund much more than "DEI" on technocratic technicalities.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.
