Grants, including Fulbright scholarships and National Science Foundation (NSF) projects, are being frozen or revised to remove terms like "climate change" and "equity."

The administration has also cut NSF staff and scrubbed climate references from federal programs. Scientists warn this politicization threatens research, public safety, and national security.

Critics argue it prioritizes industry interests over scientific progress. Calls for greater scientific investment are growing.

Just got the word today at my job that the people who write reports need to remove all mention of climate related things, not even a year after they finally decided to tell that we can include it. So basically, the last legislation moved too slowly and this administration is moving rapidly to change what they finally implemented.
