The Cal-Bridge program in California aims to address diversity gaps in STEM fields by supporting undergraduates pursuing doctorates, offering financial aid, mentorship, and research opportunities. The program has a 70% success rate in admitting students to doctorate programs, with three-quarters of participants being students of color and nearly half being women.

The National Science Foundation awarded Graduate Research Fellowships to 34 Caltech alumni and 19 graduate students. The program supports STEM research and education to strengthen the field.

The Trump administration initially planned to dismantle the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI), a major ocean research program, but reversed the decision after bipartisan senatorial intervention. While the OOI is now protected for at least a decade, other critical ocean and climate research programs like the Argo program remain at risk due to potential funding cuts.

Scientists warn the loss will hinder tracking of oceanographic signals, especially during an upcoming El Niño event.

Scientists will lose critical climate data as the National Science Foundation dismantles part of the Ocean Observatories Initiative, a $386 million ocean monitoring network, due to funding cuts. The project, designed to operate for 25-30 years, will have its Pacific Northwest sensors removed by 2027, disrupting long-term climate research during an upcoming El Niño event.

The Trump administration plans to dismantle the $368m Ocean Observatories Initiative, a deep-sea monitoring system providing critical climate and ocean data. The National Science Foundation announced it has initiated the descoping of the network, which includes over 900 instruments tracking ocean health and biodiversity.

The National Science Foundation announced it has initiated descoping of the network, which includes over 900 instruments tracking ocean health and biodiversity.

The National Science Foundation suspended nearly $21 million in UC Berkeley research grants, alleging failure to disclose foreign funding from allied countries like the UK, Australia, and Switzerland. Some researchers denied receiving the specified funding, and the action aligns with the Trump administration's broader campaign to influence research funding and ideological control over universities.

The Trump administration attempted to shut down the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and transfer its Wyoming supercomputing center, but UCAR, which manages NCAR, won a preliminary injunction to halt the transfer. NCAR, a federally-funded research center established in the 1960s, provides critical resources for atmospheric science research.

The Trump administration is dismantling a $368 million deep-ocean observation system established a decade ago to monitor coastal environments, marine ecosystems, and global climate currents. The National Science Foundation will begin removing over 900 deep-sea instruments off Oregon in June.

The National Science Foundation is slowing the distribution of research grants to certain U.S. universities. The reason for this funding limitation remains unclear according to the article.

The Trump administration has proposed cutting the National Science Foundation's budget in half and eliminating its Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences division, which funds most U.S. social science research. The NSF's board was disbanded, and the SBE division's current budget is two-thirds smaller, with only five grants awarded this year compared to 250 in a typical year.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has paused new research grants to top universities like Harvard University. The decision, reported by Nature, marks another restriction on funding for leading research institutions.

Scientists have discovered remnants of a stellar explosion trapped in Antarctic ice, which could provide insights into our solar system. The study found stardust in Antarctic ice, potentially revealing new information about the solar system's history. This discovery may lead to a deeper understanding of the universe.

Scientists have discovered a hidden threat in Antarctica that could accelerate global sea level rise faster than expected, with warmer ocean water trapped beneath floating ice shelves speeding up melting from below, even in relatively stable regions of East Antarctica. This process may be missing from current climate models, leading to underestimated future sea level rise. The findings suggest a more vulnerable Antarctic region than previously thought.

The Trump administration is redirecting a cybersecurity scholarship program toward artificial intelligence, leaving current scholars dismayed and bewildered. The CyberCorps Scholarship For Service program will now be known as CyberAI SFS, requiring new students to be proficient in using AI in cybersecurity.
