Trump Orders Disrupt Academic Research

Many federally funded scientists have either had their grants terminated or can’t access approved funding while the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation and other science agencies work to comply with President Trump’s recent executive orders. The orders, which researchers say are vague, ban funding for diversity, equity and inclusion; “gender ideology”; and green energy projects, among other issues. The orders are just one of several actions in the last two weeks that have created uncertainty for researchers and scientists who rely on federal funding.
