Federal Grant Changes Spark Uncertainty in Scientific Community
In recent years, federal funding for programs that include diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) components has been significantly reduced. As a result, some scientists have experienced their research projects being paused or defunded sometimes just before publication leading to widespread uncertainty in the scientific community. Grant funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a key source for many research initiatives, has reportedly been cut by more than 50% in cases involving DEI elements.
