This is devastating, especially for a program that has been widely supported for more than 70 years #StandforFulbright
Just got an email from the Fulbright Association. As of right now, funding has been cut off to 12,500 US citizens currently abroad and and more than 7,400 foreigner scholars and students in the United States

Detailed and concise 1-pager explaining what F&A does and how it underlies the competitive advantages of American sciences.
F&A pays PEOPLE and allows universities to be the anchors of regional economies that they are!

Most of the money that researchers spend is on paying other researchers. In other words, canceling research funds is taking money out of local economies by removing people and their spending power from them. 🧪
In Astronomy, NSF has only 1 call per year (grants last 3 years). This means that if the process is paused (or worse), it has a huge ripple effect: it changes how we do graduate admissions, as ~1/2 of our graduate students are funded by NSF grants. It changes if we can hire postdoctoral researchers.
