Members of the US Congress have signaled that they will once again reject a proposal by the Trump administration to slash science spending. But the bill they advanced today still calls for substantial cuts to budgets at agencies such as the National Science Foundation. go.nature.com/48xUaPw

The Trump administration has downsized US science by historic margins — but it's not just via grant or workforce cuts. Our new @nature analysis reveals the government has cut more than 100 scientific advisory panels across all major science agencies.

The Trump administration has effectively ended its legal fight to impose a flat 15% cap on NIH indirect-costs by letting the deadline to appeal to the Supreme Court pass without filing. That means the earlier court rulings blocking the policy remain in place.

Can you please reinstate the now 5-month lapsed SBIR program? Small businesses are going to close because of this. While @SenJoniErnst plan has flaws, they are workable. The SBIR program should have been a slam-dunk, please help. @SenateSmallBiz @SenatorBaldwin @SenRonJohnson

“We could be on a path towards homogeneity” Data suggests that AI-assisted grant proposals are less distinct, and more likely to be funded go.nature.com/4avzjN4

Grant proposals drafted with AI help more likely to win NIH funding

Nature - But funding proposals to US agencies also tend to be more similar to previously funded projects if they are written or edited with the help of a chatbot.
