Scoop: For nearly a year, NSF has struggled to make new grants. Now we know that it will not catch up. In fact, NSF will award just 6,100 new grants—a 30% y/o/y decline, itself down from a previous avg. of 11,000+. In fact, the last time NSF awarded so few grants was in the early '80s.
Exclusive: NSF set to issue lowest number of new grants in four decades
The US science-funding agency is withholding $1 billion of its budget so that the money can go to a special White House project.

This week, the Trump administration issued a final rule that seeks to place lifesaving healthcare out of reach for some of our most marginalized youth. Here’s what this rule does — and does not — do: https://humanrightscampaign.substack.com/p/the-trump-administration-is-hurting
The Trump administration is hurting kids and terrorizing families. It has to stop.
Transition-related healthcare can significantly improve the lives of people who receive it. And we ALL deserve access to lifesaving healthcare when we need it.

The OMB Proposal will change American science from a globally collaborative, evidence-based enterprise into one based on political control and isolation. We need MoCs to permanently Revoke the Rule. Contact yours at the link: zurl.co/RWrqE #StandUpForScience #Vought #Science #SaveScience#Trump
While this is a HUGE WIN, there's more work to do. It's time to DOUBLE DOWN in pressuring Congress. They need to revoke the OMB Proposal. Members of Congress who fail to stop the Proposal will be out of a job January 3rd, 2027, we will make sure of it. 🧵
No child should be torn apart from their parents at the hands of our government. Congress must pass this bill.

Monday is the deadline for public comment! The Heritage Foundation has been mobilizing its members to leave comments in favor of the rule change, so every unique comment matters (don’t use a form letter or copy/paste—similar comments are batched and treated as one).
Bethany Brookshire@beebrookshire.bsky.social · 2mo agoThere's an OMB rule change that would require political oversight of scientific grants, and could pull any that don't "reflect presidential priorities" Another country has tried this before! It was the USSR and it was called Lysenkoism. By @thsaey.bsky.social www.sciencenews.org/article/omb-...
