Our country is hailed worldwide for our technical and scientific ingenuity

But it is federal grants that serve as the engine of innovation.

Pausing scientific grantmaking — by NSF, NIH, and more — is NOT a recipe for American greatness.

Consider reminding your senators & reps of this fact.
The National Science Foundation cancelled over 60 grant review panels today, effectively grinding funding of new projects to a halt.

The so-far indefinite pause comes as NSF grapples with the impact Trump's executive orders will have on their grantmaking process.
