  • Former National Science Foundation and National Science Board leads sent a letter to congressional leadership saying the cuts to the agency run contrary to the Trump administration's priorities.

In an article published on May 1, 2025, by Nextgov, former directors of the National Science Foundation (NSF) expressed strong criticism over the proposed budget cuts and staff reductions at the agency. The cuts, part of broader federal spending adjustments, are seen as detrimental to the NSF's ability to support critical research and innovation in the United States. The former heads argue that reducing the NSF's budget and workforce will hinder scientific progress and America's competitiveness on the global stage, particularly in emerging technologies. They urge policymakers to reconsider these cuts and prioritize sustained investment in scientific research to maintain the nation's leadership in science and technology.
