The gutting of American science & scientific pre-eminence continues:

"As of March 3, the... [NIH] had doled out 74% fewer competitive, or new, awards than the average for the same period in the 2021-2024 fiscal years, according to an analysis by researchers at Johns Hopkins. The monetary value of those awards so far this year is 62% below the average for those previous years." And the funding that does happen is renewals, not new grants.
