The remarks from Michael Kratsios follow the administration's termination of grants at the National Science Foundation that don't align with its policies.

In a recent statement, Arati Prabhakar, the director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), expressed concerns that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives are undermining scientific integrity at a time when federal research funding is being reduced. Prabhakar highlighted the challenges faced by the scientific community due to budget cuts, emphasizing that the focus on DEI could divert resources and attention away from core scientific research. She stressed the importance of maintaining rigorous scientific standards and ensuring that funding is allocated efficiently to support groundbreaking research, rather than being spread thin across various initiatives. This comes amidst ongoing debates about the role and impact of DEI programs in federal agencies and their influence on scientific progress.
