Some units at the #US funding giant are so understaffed, they are focusing on mandated #grant renewals rather than new awards

A major boon to my #strength training since 2020 has been #outdoor #calisthenics #gyms. The best examples seem to be the #Fitness Courts provided by @natfitcampaign via #grant #funding from #healthSystems, townships, etc. I still have my fingers crossed for adding a Fitness Court to our borough (because our closest court is a few miles away). Until then, I will probably continue jogging through a few townships to this one — it's fantastic! Check out the #NationalFitnessCampaign to apply for funding, become an ambassador, or become a trainer.

Could agentic #AI topple #grant funding systems?
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-01297-y
Evidence is mounting of a surge in the use of generative AI across science. For example, a 2025 survey by the publishing company Elsevier of 3,234 researchers across 113 countries found that 58% had used AI tools in their work (up from 37% in 2024). Of these, 61% were using AI to find and summarize the latest research; 41% were using it to help draft grant proposals.
Could agentic AI topple grant-funding systems?

Funders must take action before an increase in submission of high-quality proposals written using AI models makes it impossible to sort the wheat from the chaff.

As today is the anniversary of Ulysses Grant's birth, I hope you'll check out this conversation I had back in 2024 with Fergus Bordewich about the Grant administration's efforts to combat the Klan during Reconstruction. #history #POTUS #Grant #OTD https://www.presidenciespodcast.com/interview-with-fergus-bordewich-klan-war/
Interview with Fergus Bordewich, Klan War

Year(s) Discussed: 1865-1877 The history of the Reconstruction era has in the past been deliberately misconstrued to downplay the achievements of Black Americans…
