  6. "The US National Science Foundation (NSF) will award about 30% fewer new research grants this fiscal year than in the last one, Nature has learnt. The steep drop continues a pattern that began last year, after US President Donald Trump took office, leaving the NSF with the lowest number of new grants awarded in more than four decades.

    A major funder of basic science, the NSF struggled to make awards this year with a workforce that has been cut by the Trump administration and uncertainty around the funds available for spending. But the decline in new grants in 2026 can now be attributed mainly to US$1 billion of the agency’s $8.8-billion budget being held in a central account, inaccessible to core grant-issuing programmes. Staff members, who spoke to Nature on condition of anonymity out of fear of reprisal, say that much of that money is being allotted to a White House project called the Grand Research Challenges, which is aimed at scientific fields such as advanced materials and artificial intelligence.

    The agency had issued 5,684 new grants as of 19 August, according to Grant Witness, a non-profit effort to track changes in US research funding. And internal NSF data show that there are around 400 grants waiting at its Office of Award Management (OAM) for processing. Staff members were required to submit all new proposals to the OAM by 3 August, so the final number of new grants issued for this fiscal year, which ends on 30 September, will almost certainly be about 6,100 (see ‘Grants throttled’). That’s 46% fewer than the average for 2021–24, before Trump took office. The last time this number was so low was in the early 1980s."

  21. NSF grants will fall to *half* of what they were before the Trump Admin this year, the lowest number since the early 1980s.

    Why? (1) The White House is withholding $1 Billion for private projects, and (2) The NSF is using every accounting trick to make it look like they are spending without making new grants.

  26. @IngridHbn so, is the sharper look at the first image of a black hole useless?

    From the article by the U.S. National Science Foundation National Optical-Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory (NOIRLab):

    "Machine learning reconstructs new image of Messier 87 from Event Horizon Telescope data

    "A team of researchers, including an astronomer with NSF NOIRLab, has developed a new machine-learning technique to enhance the fidelity and sharpness of radio interferometry images. To demonstrate the power of their new approach, which is called PRIMO, the team created a new, high-fidelity version of the iconic Event Horizon Telescope's image of the supermassive black hole at the center of Messier 87, a giant elliptical galaxy located 55 million light-years from Earth. …"
