Trump fires entire National Science Board, reshapes research funding
Original: Viewpoint: After firing the entire National Science Board, Trump reshapes funding initiatives. Here’s the good and the bad.
The Trump administration has dismissed all members of the National Science Board, the governing body that oversees the National Science Foundation, and is moving to reshape how federal science funding is directed. Commentators are weighing potential benefits, such as redirecting priorities, against warnings that removing independent oversight could politicise research funding and weaken American science.
Why now: Firing the entire oversight board of a major federal science agency is an unprecedented move with significant implications for US research policy.
