Excellent reporting by @dangaristo.bsky.social on the NSF SBE situation, and what appears to be its de facto dismantling—funding virtually no awards since October—against the clear intent of Congress

NEW: NSF has been funding research at a fraction of its historic rate. Last week, the agency finally began distributing money to its directorates and is now likely to pick up the grantmaking pace.
But these allocations also amount to substantial cuts across the sciences. My reporting:
The agency is finally ready to distribute a spate of new grants, but it is also preparing substantial cuts to areas such as biological and social sciences.
