NSF cancels over 400 grants covering disinformation, deepfakes and STEM education

Some $328 million worth of research grants to institutions was canned amid a broader restructuring of the National Science Foundation. Disinformation research and empowerment of underprivileged people in STEM fields were prime targets.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has canceled over 400 grants related to disinformation, deepfakes, and STEM education, as reported by Nextgov. This decision, influenced by political pressures and budget constraints, has raised concerns among researchers and educators about the future of scientific inquiry and education in these critical areas. The cancellations affect ongoing projects that were aimed at combating misinformation, studying the impact of deepfakes, and enhancing STEM education programs. The move has sparked a debate on the role of government funding in science and the potential implications for national security and public trust in scientific research.
