Just had an NSF proposal rejected after almost a year pending. One of the reviewers tanked it by not seeing that we had clear documentation for the things they asked for (and that the other reviewers clearly saw). Didn't go to panel though because the NSF is being destroyed.

"NSF employees are now concerned that the $1 billion of withheld funds will not be released. If they are not, the combination of withheld funds and clawbacks would result in funding cuts of more than 30% for most directorates compared with their planned spending for 2025"

New: The National Science Foundation is preparing to claw back some $500 million in funds from some of its core science programs in physics, math, computer science, and engineering in order to fund a project from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.

I submitted my comments. Please, for the sake of science and progress in this country submit yours! You can even do it anonymously. Take a few minutes this weekend to save #science !

🚨 HEADS UP: If you haven't submitted a comment on the OMB proposal yet, there's still time - but it's running out! There are only 13 days left to push back against Russell Vought's attempt to give political appointees unprecedented control over federal research funding. Take Action: zurl.co/VGfwO

Graphic from Stand Up for Science urging action on a federal funding proposal. Large text reads: "13 Days Left" and "Help Us Stop Vought From Destroying American Science." A portrait of Russell Vought appears beside the U.S. Capitol. A banner along the bottom reads: "Submit a comment on the OMB proposal | Link in bio to take action." The Stand Up for Science logo appears in the top left.
