The National Science Foundation (NSF) has announced a significant structural overhaul by eliminating its 37 divisions. This change aims to centralize the grant proposal vetting process, adding a new layer of scrutiny to ensure compliance with the administration's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) standards. Concerns have been raised about the impact of this shift on scientific research funding and operational efficiency, with fears that it may lead to confusion, increased bureaucracy, and potentially detrimental effects on American science and technology innovation. Comments from users highlight apprehensions about future funding cuts and the challenge of losing institutional knowledge which is crucial for maintaining scientific progress. The risk of bias in funding decisions and conflicts of interest due to the new vetting committee's composition is also emphasized. Critics argue that this transformation could result in significant damage to the integrity and output of U.S. science.
