The National Science Foundation (NSF) has canceled over 60 grant review panels due to the need to align its processes with recent executive orders from the Trump administration. This sudden decision has disrupted preparation for many scientists involved in the evaluation process. The NSF, which administers around $9 billion in grants annually, faces challenges as delays in grant approvals can hinder critical scientific research funding, affecting tenured faculty, post-doctoral researchers, and graduate students reliant on such financial support. The reasons behind the cancellations remain unclear, although there are indications they may be linked to actions impacting diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.
It's extremely disappointing for it to be canceled for political reasons.
All of these things cannot happen until you have notification.
