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 mandated, according to a New York Times report. The finding raises questions about whether the agency defied legislative spending directives, and it is drawing criticism from lawmakers and science advocates concerned about politically driven reallocations of federal research money.
Why now: A major news report alleging that a federal science agency bypassed congressional funding directives is fueling debate over executive control of research budgets.
