#Nonprofit Refuses $1.5M #Science#Grant Due To New Federal #DEI Rules
#TheCarpentries, a nonprofit that has trained over 100,000 researchers in coding and data skills, turned down a $1.5 million #NSF grant after being asked to strip diversity-related content from its programming. For an organization with just three months of cash on hand, it was a decision that threatens the organization’s very existence.

🚨 NEW: Crowdsourced database of #NSF grant terminations. 🚨

We've been able to collect info on 1̶1̶0̶ 435 (!) cancelled grants. Thanks to all who reported.

UPDATE: We think this is all of Friday's terminations.

These terminations target misinformation research, AI literacy and safety, and programs to broaden participation in science and education. They're an attack on the very idea of an educated and informed citizenry, because it's a threat to authoritarian power.
