Members of the US Congress have signaled that they will once again reject a proposal by the Trump administration to slash science spending. But the bill they advanced today still calls for substantial cuts to budgets at agencies such as the National Science Foundation. go.nature.com/48xUaPw

The Trump administration has downsized US science by historic margins — but it's not just via grant or workforce cuts. Our new @nature analysis reveals the government has cut more than 100 scientific advisory panels across all major science agencies.

The Trump administration has effectively ended its legal fight to impose a flat 15% cap on NIH indirect-costs by letting the deadline to appeal to the Supreme Court pass without filing. That means the earlier court rulings blocking the policy remain in place.

Research development is changing—and institutions that adapt will lead. Visit Hanover at #NORDP2026 to talk strategy, emerging trends, and what it takes to stay competitive in today’s funding landscape. @Hanover_Ed
