🚨 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!

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!

Took some time to check out some Alabama 🦇s this week with colleagues here at Auburn CFWE. Lots of good finds in the culverts here! 🦊🧪

bats are immunologically "special", but bat species also differ in their immune response. we gather evidence for interspecific variation in bat immunity, propose hypotheses, and outline future comparative directions. i've really enjoyed working with this ECR team.

That would be fantastic! Thank you for inviting me!

Excited to share my first postdoc manuscript! @danjbecker.bsky.social and I created frameworks for understanding how cross-species transmission is driven by phylogenetic relatedness between co-roosting species, and its impact on roost infection prevalence. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Just getting started on bsky, so let me introduce myself: I am an integrated scientist interested in disease ecology, physiology and ecoimmunology. I research how wildlife health changes under disturbance, and how those changes can impact wildlife populations, particularly for small mammals like 🦇s
