"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants.
Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

Oh my god, there’s more. Travel and grant review meetings are being canceled. Trainee/EC events are being cancelled. In totally non-political fields such as dentistry.
