Trump Dismisses NSF Advisory Board, Upending Science Oversight
TL;DR
The Trump administration fired all members of the National Science Board, the independent body that oversees the NSF and advises on science policy and funding, effective immediately. Critics warn the move could weaken U.S. science governance amid ongoing funding debates, while the White House says the board’s powers may need updating and NSF operations will continue, even as its headquarters move and HUD prepares to occupy its former building.
