Summary
Trump is withdrawing support for scientific research that references climate change, forcing researchers to alter project titles to retain funding.
Grants, including Fulbright scholarships and National Science Foundation (NSF) projects, are being frozen or revised to remove terms like “climate change” and “equity.”
The administration has also cut NSF staff and scrubbed climate references from federal programs. Scientists warn this politicization threatens research, public safety, and national security.
Critics argue it prioritizes industry interests over scientific progress. Calls for greater scientific investment are growing.
