Benjamin: 我很高兴邀请到 Dan Garisto 来讨论美国科学政策的最新动态。我们关注到美国国家科学基金会（NSF）在经费方面出现了一些变化，希望他能为我们详细解读。 Dan Garisto: 感谢邀请。特朗普政府执政后，NSF出现了一些变化，主要体现在经费终止和预算削减上。大约1400项与多元化、公平、包容以及错误信息相关的研究资助被终止，这引发了担忧，因为这些资助是NSF与研究人员之间的合同义务，且没有给出合理解释。此外，NSF正面临大幅削减预算的局面，总统办公室提议削减55.8%的预算，这将对研究资助和机构运营产生重大影响，可能导致员工数量减半。新的间接或管理费用上限为15%的政策也给研究带来了困难。这些变化对美国科学界造成了严重冲击，许多研究项目面临中断，科研人员正在寻找替代资金来源，但替代方案有限。政策专家一致认为，这将对美国科学产生非常不利的影响。
