NSF Diverted $1.4 Billion in Congress-Mandated Science Funds
Original: NSF Diverted $1.4B in Science Funds Mandated by Congress
The National Science Foundation redirected roughly $1.4 billion in research funding that Congress had specifically appropriated, according to a New York Times report. The finding raises questions about whether the agency overstepped its authority by shifting money away from programs lawmakers had mandated, and it is likely to draw scrutiny from oversight committees and the scientific research community.
Why now: A major new report alleges a federal science agency bypassed congressional spending directives, touching on executive-legislative authority over the budget.
