🌖 美國科學與醫學領域的補助金數量全面下降
➤ 一項政策轉變如何讓美國科學研究的「賭注」變少
✤ https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/12/02/upshot/trump-science-funding-cuts.html
《紐約時報》的報導指出，美國國家衛生研究院（NIH）和國家科學基金會（NSF）在2025年大幅減少了撥發的科研補助金。此現象源於白宮管理及預算局（OMB）指示NIH和NSF採取一種新的補助金支付策略，將預算一次性全額支付給少數幾個大型研究項目，而非將資金分散投入更多項目。這導致了平均每份補助金的金額增加，但總體獲得補助的項目數量顯著減少，涵蓋了從癌症、糖尿病到心理健康等各個科學及醫學領域。此舉引發了對長期科學發展和競爭壓力的擔憂。
+ 這真是令人擔憂的消息，基礎研究是推動社會進步的基石，現在卻面臨如此縮減。
+ 雖然表面上是大額支付，但實際減少了研究的廣度，長期來看對創新是個打擊。

The #US Is Funding Fewer #Grants in Every Area of #Science and #Medicine
A quiet #policy change means the government is making fewer bets on long-term science.
Together, #NIH and the #NSF had a nearly $60 billion annual budget for funding future breakthroughs in science and medicine, about a quarter of which is typically spent on new grants or competitive renewals. This year, both agencies made far fewer competitive awards.

Trump wants to cut the funding to NSF by 66%

"That public investment has quietly made numerous benefits for Americans and the World: From educational viewings like the Magic School Bus, to radars that warn us of severe weather, to an app that helps us craft our language skills!

It’s a reminder that public investment in science yields public good. For three-quarters of a century, the NSF has opened doors for generations of curious minds, sparking wonder, nurturing knowledge, and investing in futures, just as it did for me."

In January, the #Python #Software Foundation submitted a grant to #NSF in #USA and was approved for $1.5 million of funding.

Now they have decided to decline the grant, due to conditions imposed by the #Trump administration about #DEI.

Python Software Foundation withdraws NSF grant proposal over DEI/anti-discrimination terms

Yeah, that’s integrity in action. They sacrificed real money to avoid complicity with reactionary nonsense. Open source should stay open to everyone, not bent by some bureaucratic fear of equality.
