Between this and Section 174 during his first term Trump has irreparably harmed US research. Let's also be clear that those harms span health, security/defense, energy, etc

For those who voted for this and are terrified of China These and upcoming proposed policies will hasten their R&D superiority
Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.

I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.
NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
