Summer of science anyone? 1) Talked tile drains at SFS in San Juan 🚜💧, 2) Chatted about DSi and HABs on the Ohio River at Univ of Cincinnati 🦠🌊, PLUS 3) was accepted into the Headwaters Leadership Academy 👩‍🎓. This fall, I’ll be teaching Environment and People at IU during my LAST semester of my PhD!

🚨 Another major round of #NSF terminations today 😞. Please report and encourage your colleagues to as well! We need this info to shed light on the damage caused, and to organize and advocate for science that includes and benefits all. airtable.com/appGKlSVeXni... 🧪

🚨Report your NSF grant terminations! 🚨

We are starting to collect information on NSF grant terminations to create a shared resource as we have for NIH. The more information we collect, the more we can organize, advocate, and fight back! Please share widely!

airtable.com/appGKlSVeXni...

NSF Grant Termination Information Collection Form

Please use this form to submit information identifying specific NSF grants that have been cancelled for any reason after January 20, 2025.

We are tracking these grants to increase transparency, organize affected PIs, and facilitate responses, including via litigation. Please share the form as widely as possible with your networks.

We are actively building a pipeline to organize these terminations and will soon have a tracker akin to our NIH grant tracker at https://airtable.com/appjhyo9NTvJLocRy/shrNto1NNp9eJlgpA

WE WILL NOT DISCLOSE THE IDENTITY OF ANYONE WHO USES THIS FORM TO PROVIDE INFORMATION. We will keep your identity confidential.

These resources are maintained by Noam Ross of rOpenSci and Scott Delaney of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, with input and support from additional volunteers. For any questions, please contact Scott Delaney on Signal (sdelaney.84).

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE!

Our second SRC co-char is Lindsey Rasnake, a Ph.D. candidate at Indiana University. She studies nutrient cycling and algae in freshwater systems of human-dominated landscapes! Lindsey first got involved in 2022 at the JASM meeting in Grand Rapids! Fun fact: Lindsey spent two summers raising wolves!
