I have to respectfully agree with you.  I think we can all agree to disagree.  We need to be mindful that we cannot put our heads in the sand and forget all of this is going on.  I know of colleagues who are writing letters and communicating with their legislators on their own time to make sure our voices are heard.  It is important that we get the message out about the good work that is being done.  All the amazing science and discoveries that are being made everyday that impact the lives of many.  Our profession and universities impact a lot of this.  Likewise, we all need to stay informed.  I have been reading and getting my updates on COGR website and this has been helpful to me.

 

Let’s have patience with each other during this crazy time.  Have a nice weekend, everyone!  It’s going to be 78 degrees here today 😊

I think, reading this thread, that many in our community have never participated in an internet forum, or an old BBS, or even witnessed a true “OG” flame war. It shows. There has been no “hateful rhetoric” here, just civil, respectful disagreement.

 

Remember that disagreement is critical to problem solving.  Constructive criticism and sometimes even heated debate are extremely important to make sure that we at least try to understand each other and the issues. A problem cannot be solved or dealt with if we don’t understand it, after all. If our information is all filtered through one lens or another, there’s a chance that we don’t have the full picture.  Through dialogue (and disagreement!) with people of different viewpoints, we can at least start to broaden our viewpoints to see the whole issue at hand.

 

So this might not be the forum for purely political debates, but our profession is so closely tied to the politics of our nation (especially now!).  I think we would be willfully ignorant to shut down discussion about it, especially if it’s just because passionate disagreement makes us uncomfortable.  I’d rather debate the issues with my peers who know what all the words mean than to mourn the loss of my country and my profession (not to mention the future of scientific research in the US!) because we were too uncomfortable disagreeing with each other to do anything about it when we had the chance.

Unfortunately Meredith that is not what is happening. If they truly wanted to ensure every dollar is being spent appropriately, they wouldn’t take a hatchet and just start destroying everything.  They would take the time and audit each and every department and person and see what everyone is doing in a thoughtful and calculated manner to ensure the appropriateness of their actions.

 

This is a blatant attempt to destroy the government.

You don't often get email from xxxxxx@outlook.com. Learn why this is important

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?
