Original: National Science Foundation Diverted $1.4 Billion in Science Funds Mandated by Congress
The National Science Foundation redirected roughly $1.4 billion in research funding that Congress had mandated for specific science programs, according to the New York Times. The reallocation affects about one-fifth of the agency's primary research budget and is described as the latest example of the White House asserting greater control over federal science grants, drawing concern from researchers.
Why now: The scale of the redirected funding raises fresh concerns about White House influence over federally mandated scientific research.
