How bad will it be? Catastrophic. Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come. But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget. Speak up now before it is too late. (inflation adjusted $-s below)
NSF, NASA and NIH budgets per year, inflation adjusted from 2000-2025 along with the proposed cuts. NSF includes research component only. Massive cuts across all sectors, well below support spanning 25 years.

Note: The projections are for seven countries--Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe--that account for half the people living with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa. The overall impact will be worse. PEPFAR also funds projects in Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean & Ukraine

These practices will surely increase health disparities among US states! And they are happening in states with already worse health outcomes
