The NSF is the US engine of basic science discovery and technology innovation. This decision is a gift to our overseas competitors.
“One of the US’ leading funders of science & engineering research is planning to lay off between a quarter & a half of its staff in the next two months, a top NSF official said Tuesday. The comments…came at an all-hands meeting of the NSF’s Engineering Directorate.”

In the present discussions about NIH and the need for reform, two recurring points I am seeing are:
(1) NIH doesn't fund truly high impact research
(2) NIH needs to experiment with alternative approaches to peer review, particularly for high risk-high impact research
