More than half of the 1500 research grants that NSF has terminated under orders from Trump were to women, racial and ethnic minorities, veterans, and low-income and rural students, groups targeted by his administration.
NSF’s grant cuts fall heaviest on scientists from underrepresented groups
Projects to broaden participation were cut disproportionately—and were often led by Black scientists, women, and those with disabilities
