National Science Foundation staff were told to freeze outgoing funding days after NSF leadership introduced a new policy that requires that grants be screened for “alignment with agency priorities”

The proposed cuts would “erode our nation’s enviable status as a global leader in scientific research and innovation,” the plaintiffs said.
