The US Government Accountability Office (#GAO) just reviewed the #OpenAccess policies at nine federal agencies.
https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-26-107738A few highlights:
* Among other things, GAO looked for compliance with the #NelsonMemo. This is further evidence that the #Trump admin supports the memo.
* It encourages #NSF and #USDA to go further to ensure #reuse rights. (That would be good.) But it assumes that the other agencies are already doing enough to ensure reuse rights. (I can't agree with this.)
* It praises #NIH for taking steps to reduce money spent on grantee #APCs, and encourages other agencies to follow the NIH lead on this.
* In a few places it leaves the false impression (1) that all OA journals charge APCs and (2) that all publishers are responding the federal policies by charging APCs to publish fed-funded research.

#Scientists Press #Congress on Trump’s Dismissal of Funding Agency Board
The slowed pace of #grants by the #NationalScienceFoundation (#NSF), under attack from #WhiteHouse, could put #US at disadvantage with China, scientists warned.
“We stand with the #NationalScienceBoard, and call on Congress, as an equal branch of government, to rapidly and firmly support science by calling for the reinstatement of terminated #NSB members,” signatories wrote.

The National Center for Atmospheric Research based in #Colorado is a #NSF program that enables broadly the entire research and academic communities across the USA to operate properly.
Last December, OMB made the shocking announcement that it intended to dismantle #NCAR
Details are now emerging on the motivations for this action ::

"The Friday terminations of the apolitical scientific board that advises the White House on the future and direction of science funding are, as Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) aptly put it, a “bozo the clown move” — if only the consequences for the nation weren’t so tragic."

Trump Takes a ‘Wrecking Ball’ to Independent Scientific Advisory Board
Without the impartial oversight of its board, the #NationalScienceFoundation (#NSF) is now “fully at the behest of the White House,” experts warn.
The administration’s firing of all 22 current members of the #NationalScienceBoard last week stands out as “one of the darkest moments” of the past year and a half, said Jacquelyn Gill, a paleoecologist and biogeographer

Trump’s mass firing of #NationalScienceBoard just dealt another blow to #American #science
Ambitious research is on the chopping block following yet more cuts at the #NationalScienceFoundation.
The #NSF was established in 1950 to “promote the progress of science,” among other goals. It has served as a major source of support for research and education. In 2024, the agency spent $9.39 billion—a substantial figure but only 0.1% of federal spending.

#NSF and #NSB are one of the last strongholds representative of the highly skilled in US governance. The replacement of the NSB board by zero skilled appointee sycophants will complete another round of #Necrosis of our institutions and representation as leaders in #Science and #Engineering. When does the bottom fall out ? Soon unfortunately.
Graduates of advanced programs may no longer see job markets in the #US as a first choice. The slippage isn’t new. Full scale rot is becoming a thing -

The Trump administration fires independent board overseeing the National Science Foundation in the U.S.
@AssociatedPress reports: "It’s typically made up of 25 members appointed by the president who serve staggered, six-year terms. The fired scientists hail from academia and industry and specialize in areas including astronomy, math, chemistry and aerospace engineering."

It is a common reflection as changes are introduced that what has taken a hundred years to develop can be torn down in hours and may never be recovered. What are Congress and the Senate thinking (I won’t speculate on the voting public who seem content to sink into a feudal, witchcraft dominated future where health, shelter and food are no longer taken for granted by the majority)?
