Update. "The federal Department of Education [#ED] maintains an open access database of more than 2 million documents [Education Resources Information Center, #ERIC] dating back to the 1960s. It will cease operating Wednesday due to #DOGE cuts."

PS: I use many sources in my attempt to stay on top of what's happening with #OpenAccess, #OpenScience, #OpenEducation, and so on. ERIC has been one of the stalwarts.

Update. "National Science Foundation Terminates Hundreds of Active Research Awards"
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/science/trump-national-science-foundation-grants.html

"In January, the #Trump administration attempted to freeze grant payments for existing awards at the #NSF. A temporary restraining order lifted the freeze. The order also said that the agency could not terminate active awards to comply with President Trump’s executive orders…In a statement on Friday, the NSF said that its grant cancellations were not in violation of the temporary restraining order. When asked by The Times to provide clarification on the legality of the grant cancellations, the agency declined to comment…On Friday, the NSF went further, canceling grants supporting ongoing research."

Update. "How #Trump is following #Project2025’s radical roadmap to defund science."

"Indiscriminate firings. Terminated grants. Cancelled programmes. The barrage of actions by US President Donald Trump has shocked the country’s research community over the past two months. Yet, much of it was planned out years in advance and laid out publicly…The Wall Street Journal found that more than half of Trump’s executive orders (EOs) align with Project 2025 recommendations. And most of its 40 listed authors are now key figures on Trump’s team…Here, Nature examines science-related policies from Project 2025 that have already come to pass, and which ones might be on the horizon."

Dr. Sugerman, a snr scientist leading #CDC’s #measles response, highlighted #COVID-19 #funding cuts before a fed advisory panel: “We are scraping to find the resources & personnel needed to provide support to #Texas, & other jurisdictions.”

#Health Secy #RFKJr has overseen the huge reductions in force & budget after casting doubt on #vaccines for decades. In the current measles #outbreak, he is promoting unproven treatments while giving a tepid endorsement of the measles, #mumps & #rubella vax.

But ongoing cuts in federal #health #funding & personnel jeopardize the effectiveness of this longstanding program that’s become a key cog in #America’s #disease-fighting machinery, acc/to disease experts & fmr #CDC officials.

The #Trump admin recently fired ~10k employees at #HHS, including significant reductions at CDC that are part of a massive *downsizing* of the federal workforce. HHS said another 10k left *voluntarily*.
