Now that the US Administration has discovered no one will stop it from shattering each university by illegally impounding the public’s money, it can proceed to dictate whatever it likes, without limit, at every school. Indefinitely.

Until our other coequal branches of government do their duty.

🚨 Major shake-up in NSF funding for K-12 STEM ed:

Caps proposals at $750K max for 3 years. Prior cap used to be $5M up to 5 years for some programs.

Archives several existing programs (DRK-12, AISL, CSforAll, TD, parts of ECR:Core). Combines into broad program with much lower expected # of awards.

NEW: In an unprecedented move, the NIH will soon disinvite dozens of scientists about to take positions on advisory councils that make final decisions on grant funding.

NIH staff were told to select others aligned with the Trump administration and told to expect placements by political appointees.

Exclusive: NIH to dismiss dozens of grant reviewers to align with Trump priorities

The move would undo years of work, leaving advisory councils understaffed, and without the full expertise needed for reviews.

Delaware has noncontiguous districts and it makes some things v difficult (neighborhood communities are less robust for instance). There is a task force looking at making districts contiguous again. Unclear if the school vs district issue matters here.

Indirect funding is supplemental federal funding that supports complex research, and its importance isn't always obvious, even to those on campus. NIH has proposed a 15% cap on indirects, much lower than UW-Madison's negotiated 55.5% rate, a cut could be devastating to UW-Madison in the long-term.

Whelp. See you later 1.8 Million in NSF research funds -- all designed to better understand learning mechanisms in early childhood so we can develop effective early childhood educational interventions.

Proud of Harvard for standing up to fascism, though.
