Another dark Friday at #NSF today. An entire Divison was RIF'd, many departures through the DRP and VERA programs, and IPA PD's like myself not being renewed. A massive but as yet not completely known restructuring of the agency is underway.
If you are a PI or prospective PI, please know that we are trying our best to be responsive to your needs and to process awards and actions, but it is going to take *a lot* longer right now. Our workloads are going through the roof with these reductions.
