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 $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 exceeded its authority in deciding how federal science money was spent, and is drawing attention from lawmakers and researchers concerned about congressional control of appropriations.
Why now: A major report alleging a federal agency bypassed congressional funding directives is fueling debate over executive control of science budgets.
