We can now carry in our pockets applications that accurately identify the plants around us. These are interesting tools for researchers, but they also help everyone to appreciate the diversity of the natural world.

Judge rules against NIH grant cuts — and calls them discriminatory The decision means that the US biomedical agency has to restore funding to hundreds of research projects, but the government will likely appeal.

A US judge has ordered hundreds of terminated research projects at the US National Institutes of Health to be reinstated, calling the processes that led to their cancellation “bereft of reasoning”.

Public comment period is open until today❗https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/04/23/2025-06904/improving-performance-accountability-and-responsiveness-in-the-civil-service

This proposed new regulation would inject political interference into the research grant assessment and award process, destroy the scientific integrity of the federal grant award process, devastate the most successful biomedical research program in the world and prevent the development of new cures.

This new regulation would result in the reclassification of all NIH Institute and Center Directors as well as Institute Division Directors as political appointees and thereby dramatically politicize NIH and increase the turnover of key positions, limiting longer-term planning and execution.

Improving Performance, Accountability and Responsiveness in the Civil Service The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is proposing a rule to increase career employee accountability. Agency supervisors report great difficulty removing employees for poor performance or misconduc...

Sample: Decisions to fund scientific research based on objective review processes by the NIH and NSF without political interference in place for decades have been highly successful in generating discoveries

SSE, SSB, and ASN logos. Text: Tri-societies Week of Action for NSF. Science under siege: Over 1000 NSF grants have been terminated by political appointees- threatening the foundation of American innovation and education, and more cuts loom; entire research programs are being erased without explanation. What’s at stake? STEM education for K-12 students, jobs and infrastructure in rural communities, support for veterans in research and education, cybersecurity and national defense innovation, global leadership in science and technology. Join the week of action: Contact Congress: Switchboard: (202) 224-3121, tell them to protect NSF. Share your story: Post on social media #WithoutNSF #SupportNSF #SaveNSF, engage local media; use our media tool to reach out to local reporters and newspapers; engage others: communicate the importance of NSF to colleagues, friends, and family.

Join us in the evolution tri-societies Week of Action for NSF!

Call/write congress, engage with colleagues, friends and family about the importance of NSF funding!
