“This is taking #political control of a once politically neutral mechanism for #funding #science in the US,” said Joseph Bak-Coleman, a scientist studying group decision-making at the University of Washington.
The changes will delay grant review & approval, slowing “progress for cures & treatments that patients & families across the country urgently need,” said the Association of American Medical Colleges in a statement.

The admin has already terminated thousands of #research #grants at agencies like the #NSF & #NIH, including on topics like transgender health, vaccine hesitancy, misinformation & diversity, equity & inclusion.
The order could affect emergency relief grants doled out by #FEMA, #PublicSafety initiatives funded by the #DOJ & #PublicHealth efforts supported by the #CDC. Experts say the order is likely to be challenged in court.

An #ExecutiveOrder signed by Trump late Thursday aims to give #political appointees power over the billions of dollars in grants awarded by #FederalAgencies. Scientists say it threatens to undermine the process that has helped make the #US the world leader in #research & #development.

The order requires all #FederalAgencies, including #FEMA, the National #Science Foundation [#NSF] & the National Institutes of #Health [#NIH], to appoint officials responsible for reviewing federal #funding opportunities & #grants, so that they “are consistent with agency priorities & the national interest.”
It also requires agencies to make it so that current & future federal grants can be terminated at any time—including during the grant period itself.

👋 Hey #FOSS community! Need your wisdom on grant funding...
I've been developing a decentralized chat app that challenges the centralized model - think WhatsApp but with zero servers, complete privacy, and VR capabilities built right into the browser.
🔍 What makes it different:
- Runs entirely in browser (JavaScript/PWA)
- Direct P2P connections via WebRTC
- Industry-grade encryption by default
- Experimental AR/VR shared spaces
- Users own 100% of their data
The project is open-source and functional, but needs funding to:
- Improve security auditing
- Expand mobile platform support
- Develop accessibility features
- Build developer documentation
Has anyone had success with grants for privacy-focused or decentralization projects? Especially interested in orgs that value user empowerment over profit.

"In a radical break with tradition, the National Science Foundation (#NSF) this week began to search through billions of dollars of #grants the agency has already awarded for anything touching on topics that President Donald #Trump has criticized. And NSF has blocked grantees and trainees from accessing funds while the review is underway, wreaking havoc across the academic research community."
