I do social for my professional interest in education and my personal interest in 1960s Fiats. All opinions are my own.

Folks, this is a huge crisis for the future of our country. Especially in the area where I work, education for math, science, engineering, and career/technical education. This is like a recession. Even if it gets reversed in 2 years, it will take a decade to recover.

UPDATE: We have data on >1000 terminated #NSF grants at grant-watch.us. Thanks to all who have been contributing data the past few days.

We've also added a "Reports" section with some analyses. For NSF, we see that the STEM education directorate has been absolutely pummeled.
Screenshot of table showing number of grants and total value terminated by NSF directorate. STEM Education directorate is highlighted, with 417 terminations totaling 322 million dollars.
