Scientists across the US have been impacted by executive orders from Donald Trump that disrupted federal grant funding and payments. The National Science Foundation (NSF), a major funder of research, faced a five-day outage affecting millions of dollars in appropriated grants. Despite a temporary restraining order from a US district court that uncoupled some restrictions, the uncertainty has left many scientists struggling with delayed requests and financial hardships. Reports of potential staff layoffs at NSF further exacerbate concerns among researchers who are anxious about the future of critical funding for scientific work.
Scientists expressed alarm over the executive orders impacting federal grant money, which led to chaos and distress in their work and funding pipelines.
The National Science Foundation experienced a significant disruption due to Trump's actions, resulting in delayed payments and funding requests for many affected researchers.
