🧪Have a terminated NSF grant? Or been impacted by such a termination? Call your Senators, esp if they're Repub!! An amendment to restore killed NSF grants will later be debated on the *full Senate* floor, after it narrowly failed in committee today. 🧵 Brief thread 1/4

🧪 Russ Vought, a Project 2025 architect, is currently withholding $2.5 billion from NSF's budget for this year. This move is: -Illegally secretive -Unusual and suspect -Disrupts science -Subverts Congress It's also urgent because the *fiscal* year ends Sept 30 (call your rep). 🧵 Let's unpack...
1. Congress appropriates: Fiscal year 2025 budget levels were set on March 15, 2025 ($9 billion for NSF).

2. OMB apportions: Russ Vought decides when to send NSF appropriated funds

3. Agencies spend: NSF spends down (e.g., make new awards) by end of fiscal year (September 30).
