There have been both program officers and scientific review officers who have been terminated. However, I do not have a good sense of the numbers nor the rationale for one over others.

The biggest hit to extramural program staff appears to be grants management specialists (GMSs). It appears that 15-20% of GMSs were terminated.
This is quite concerning since these folks have already missed essentially a month of getting-grants-out time and have lots to do. They already work hard.
