I agree I liked the rolling submissions but it was still sort of a soft, unspoken deadline based on when review panels met.

…the budget which is now proposed to be cut 57%. 😖

Fewer proposals, sure. Better, idk 🤷‍♂️ that is a bit subjective and likely perceived. [Mercurial] reviewer panel still has influence. From the NSF numbers it looks like the long-term trend is decreased # but award % doesn’t budge much. Suggests total NSF budget is still the controlling factor.

Well perception is hard to measure and fewer submissions could be due to many things. Did the implementation of rolling submission deadlines etc. meaningfully change funding rates?

Hasn’t there always been persistent demand? I don’t think the current administration cares either way.

The right has boosted and monetized a culture war and monopolizes the current information landscape. Money is their mindset. The left is lazy and engaged in too much handwringing and holier-than-thou preaching. It turns off the average person.

Talk about Supreme Court precedent.

The other issue with voucher programs is that they are basically “discounts” for the wealthy. The vouchers usually don’t cover the whole cost of tuition-that still makes it unaffordable for low-income people. Also by design.
