NSF just announced its GRFP solicitation due in October - deadline varies by field: www.nsf.gov/funding/oppo... Now for the bad news... * NSF estimates they will issue 1,500 awards, down from 2,500+ last year. * NSF removed STEM Education and Learning Research as a Major Field.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Iowa Medicaid is dominated by private insurers (MCOs) that waste taxpayer dollars and delay care—hurting patients, clinicians, and hospitals. MCOs were added by executive action 10 years ago, they can be removed with a new governor in 2027. Join our campaign to build pressure to kick out the MCOs.
