NEW: We (mostly @noamross.net) launched a website to shine a brighter light on terminated NIH and NSF grants.
grant-watch.us
It links to our NIH & NSF trackers, grant info submission forms, and other info. We'll also add new analyses soon.
Check it out and let us know what else you'd like to see.

Undermining the future of American science is not a path to accountability — it’s a path to decline.
