🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Hi! I believe you, to be clear- this is terrible for the scientific community and for everyone, really. I was telling my mom about it, and she wants to know if you have any way to back up the validity of what you’re sharing. Thank you.

I got the screenshots and decision tree from a close, trusted colleague who received it directly from their Program Officer at NSF. I don’t want to name my colleague or the PO because the PO’s job is at risk, but my colleague is a real person who has current NSF funding and no reason to falsify this
