Important to remind everyone that this is an ILLEGAL DIRECTIVE from the Executive Branch (impoundment).
Staff members at the US National Science Foundation (NSF) were told on 30 April to “stop awarding all funding actions until further notice,” according to an email seen by Nature.

Drastically cutting NIH & NSF funding and reducing grant “overhead” to 15% are among the dumbest ideas I have ever seen.
America will never be the same. Science will take a huge hit. Academic stars will leave, university reputations will crumble, and homegrown talent will be even harder to find.

NEW: We obtained the directions NSF program officers are following to review all grants for compliance with the Trump EOs and the turmoil it has created in an agency mandated to broaden STEM participation. Our story: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Exclusive: how NSF is scouring research grants for violations of Trump’s orders
The US National Science Foundation has unfrozen grant funding, but it continues to scrutinize research projects, sowing turmoil.
