Total carnage. 20-25% of R1 university budgets incinerated. Massive spillover effects, in terms of staff laid off, courses/majors/enrollment slots slashed, labs/programs/departments shut. There are no backup plans if this stuff becomes permanent in the federal budget.
Here's the NIH's proposed budget - from $48 billion to $27 billion. NIAID, current ~$7 billion cut to ~$4.2 billion.
The proposed 15% cap on indirect costs remains.
Again, these budgets are passed, and our leadership in science, technology, and innovation is gone.

18F saved the government millions of dollars for certain, but probably billions. Its liquidation is the clearest possible demonstration that the "Department of Government Efficiency" is a lie. 18F's mission was nominally identical to DOGE. Yet DOGE threw it away literally overnight.
