birdwatchernature.com -- Massive budget cuts for US science proposed again by Trump administration. Budget proposal would also curb federal payments for scientific publishing.
The plan proposes cuts to federal agencies that fund or conduct research on health, space and the environment. Some of the steepest cuts would be made to the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): the budgets of both would fall more than 50% in 2027 compared to their current levels (see ‘Budget crunch’). The budget for the US National Institutes of Health would drop 13%. The proposal also cuts all funding for the NSF division that funds research on the social sciences and economics. At an internal all-hands meeting on Friday, NSF leaders announced that they would dissolve the agency’s Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences directorate based on the budget request, according to two NSF staff members who shared information anonymously in order to speak freely.
Скажут, это пустая болтовня и всё равно ничего не получится, а расходы на бред только вырастут. Это вполне вероятно, но раньше ведь вообще не пытались. Даже пустая болтовня в этом направлении - уже серьёзный шаг вперёд.
