"What's next? For a political appointee to start manually denying NIH or NSF invoices from any and all universities that the administration dislikes, or whose representatives have not sufficiently begged on their behalf?"

I think this is EXACTLY the point of this-to give oversight to someone so unqualified (ie. neither someone with a science/medicine background, nor an entire institution of people that would be needed for this to even be doable) to render whatever institution this targets functionally moot.  I think the majority of us in this business are pragmatists by nature, and we know that above all, this is entirely impractical-(darkly) fantastical really. It's a kill switch.

While it's true that some contracts and grants will be reviewed and potentially modified, the goal isn't simply to cut funding. It's about reallocating resources to maximize their impact. Think of it as a strategic investment portfolio – we're ensuring that every dollar is working its hardest for the American people. Isn't that what we want? This process will identify areas where we can be more efficient, allowing us to fund even more impactful projects in the long run. If funding is stopped on a current project, it is to ensure that a better more effective project can be funded in the future.

I could be wrong; but I’m wondering if this will be their next hat trick to try to cut, delay or even stop funding some of the contracts/grants

Speaking for myself and not my institution:

 

So, what I am seeing is that they are cutting staff and funding while increasing the bureaucracy load on everyone, such that attempting to follow the EO will become prohibitive, thus negating the agencies' ability to award grants, disburse funds and essentially killing off grants by strangling them from within, while still "technically" following any court orders, or have I misread the EO?
