"Trump 2.0 has lived up to expectations, Nost says, by endangering various kinds of data. But Nost says the situation at NOAA represents the first major threat to core data sets that are crucial for all kinds of environmental research."

Join us for a Datathon on March 21st!
This datathon will have two tracks: a datathon component to download data, and a hackathon component that will target data that requires code or scripting to obtain. All experience levels welcome!
This is your chance to:
- Preserve access to critical datasets
- Contribute by uploading community-identified data
- Connect with fellow open data enthusiasts
We look forward to your contributions and to seeing you at the Datathon!
Hosting a @publicenvirodata.bsky.social datathon tomorrow from 3–5 on zoom to preserve critical federal environmental data!

For less than the cost of a single stealth bomber, these hundreds of projects would reach thousands of communities and improve the lives of countless Americans.

Following rigorous competition and vetting, groups that received grants have already begun to implement projects: hiring staff, contracting with local businesses, and beginning to deliver results to improve health and environmental benefits for America. The status of these grants is now uncertain.

USEPA EJ Grants Under IRA
We published a map to help Americans understand the effects of these proposed cuts—for journalists to tell stories about these programs, for economists to evaluate their impacts, and for residents of these communities as well.

This map displays environmental justice (EJ) grants the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has made through the Inflation Reduction Act since 2024. The EPA Administrator previously announced his intention to cancel many of the agency's grants and contracts and their status is quickly changing: some recipients have lost access to funds, received notices of termination, or find themselves uncertain of their status. This map is not comprehensive and will be updated periodically as additional information becomes available, but what is displayed here is a large number of the potentially affected grants.
EPA’s environment justice grants under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) were developed according to high standards and in strict adherence with federal laws, policies, and regulations. The programs were designed to be transparent, accountable, and impactful. They're being targeted by EPA and DOGE.
