In the past week since Donald Trump's inauguration, the executive branch has placed an unprecedented set of restrictions on federally funded research grants, impacting thousands of academic workers across the country and putting scientific research in the United States at serious risk. These restrictions include pauses on critical research funding, including research on cancer, diabetes, and heart disease, alongside communications blackouts, travel bans for employees, and hiring freezes.
Academic workers across the country are organizing to call on our congressional representatives on Thursday, 1/30, at 3pm ET / 12pm PT to demand these restrictions be lifted immediately.
Any delays and uncertainty in federal grant funding will have dramatic consequences for scientific research and for the American economy. The administration must lift its restrictions as soon as possible and it is up to us, as academic workers, to demand an end to these irresponsible policies.
