The article discusses the experiences of fifteen researchers from various disciplines who have faced the loss of federal research grants. They highlight the implications of these funding cuts, particularly in areas like public health and education, emphasizing that critical projects supporting maternal health and educational evaluations are at risk. Specifically, some researchers argue that attempts to dismiss certain health training as irrelevant undermine essential public health efforts, while others note that canceling significant educational research leaves policymakers uninformed about effective policies, ultimately affecting their ability to make data-driven decisions.
The current administration is intent on making even this issue into 'us' versus 'them.' When it comes to public health, there is no such thing.
In comparison, our grant was less than three-thousandths of 1 percent of that amount, and the amount remaining to finish our work and share our findings with the public was just a fraction of that.
