🧪 Whoa this @aaup.bsky.social guide for navigating NSF grant terminations looks amazing!! 👀 And quite timely: there's another EO deadline this Friday (3/28) to "terminate or modify...grants...to advance the policies of my administration." PDF: www.aaup.org/sites/defaul...
Understanding the Law and Policies for Grant Terminations for the National Science Foundation March 25, 2025 This informational guide is primarily intended for National Science Foundation (NSF)–funded principal investigators if NSF requests a change in your work. The level of detail assumes the reader has basic familiarity with the NSF’s two main review criteria (intellectual merit and broader impacts), in addition to the NSF’s Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG). However, this guide may also be relevant to research administrators, legal experts, or awards from other funding agencies such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH), given that the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) applies to all agencies, not just the NSF. This guide is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Please also consult the links contained within this document for the official statutes, regulations, procedures, or any other such guidance. Other experts may interpret the official guidance in ways that may differ from this informational document.

DASHBOARD (Yellow are fields with known data sources, gray are fields that would need to be crowd sourced). Comments and suggestions welcome!

New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024. That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved. Show me a better investment than that. www.forbes.com/sites/michae...

I am not going to call this a Bluetorial, because I do not want to sully that term (which, at least I, find joyful). Let’s call it a Orwellial.

Information hygiene request - please circulate & take action. I’m getting bombarded with frantic fragments. Information flow is crucial right now, and every link in the chain matters. This is a concrete place where you can play a massive role in improving transmission. Start with SIFT method:
The SIFT method - STOP, Investigate the source, Find better coverage, Trace claims, quotes & media

The antidote for despair is action ❤️ * Dial (202) 224-3121 * Enter zip code * Leave voicemail * Say “My name is ___, I’m a constituent in [town]. (If clinician/scientist, say so) “The NIH freeze harms research and patients and must be lifted immediately.” Be brief. Staffers tally all calls. Go! ✅
