Abstract

From the start of his second term, the Trump administration has launched several blows to the US research enterprise, including swaths of canceled grants, unprecedented workforce reductions at the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and efforts to slash the overhead rates (“indirects”) essential to supporting the infrastructure and administration needed to conduct research. Legal challenges are pending against each of these actions, but the impact on scientists and scientific progress is already devastating.
