"The #LandTrust Alliance & Open Space Institute are offering #grants through the 2025 Land & Climate Grant Program to support land trusts in #LosAngelesCounty. These grants aim to integrate #climate change considerations into land conservation, stewardship, policy, or communications plans, focusing on issues such as habitat resilience, carbon mitigation, renewable energy siting, & community adaptation to climate impacts like extreme #heat, #drought, & #wildfires.

"Many residents are proud of the internationally recognized research unfolding at the National Institutes of Health facility and acknowledge that Rocky Mountain Labs has become an economic driver for Hamilton. But a few locals resent what they consider the elitest scientists at the facility...Or they fear the contagious pathogens studied there could escape the labs’ well-protected walls."

The National Institutes of Health’s Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton, Montana, is one of only a few dozen research facilities of its type. The threat of staffing and grant cuts has town leaders worried and has added to long-standing tension around the lab’s presence in this politically conservative region.
"Baylor College of Medicine is ending a 25-year partnership with a nonprofit that provides medical care for Houston’s homeless population...the relationship began to sour in recent months, as Baylor began cutting back expenses in response to federal funding disruptions, and Healthcare for the Homeless’ debt began to mount, according to court documents."

“It was a gut punch,” said Julie Posselt, an associate dean of the graduate school at the University of Southern California, and a “pretty profound confirmation” that the cuts were not about science writ large. “It’s about the association of educational research with interests and values that are at odds with the administration’s priorities.”

“If the administration has any goal other than to significantly hurt the U.S. science and research system, it will not achieve that,” Rob Atkinson, president of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, told DFD. “This isn’t about cutting a few projects that embraced radical DEI, or making some changes to get a little bit more efficiency. This is actually cutting meat and bone from the entire research enterprise.”
"A key element of its mission has been to improve the health of underserved groups, including women, children, people of color and L.G.B.T.Q. people. That focus on 'health equity' has made the school a target of the Trump administration, which initially told some Chan researchers that their funding had been stopped because of 'amorphous equity objectives” that were “antithetical to scientific inquiry.'”
