Undergrad specific impacts: Research Experience for Undergrads. This is how we get people into research. There are fewer opportunities now.RE

REUs Research Experience for Undergraduate (REU) grants. NSF program to support undergrads obtaining summer research experience. Pays for personnel (faculty & staff) to manage program, and the costs to pay students. In the grand scheme of things, these aren’t enormous costs (see previous) Standard 3-year cycle with the expectation that the university will reapply and likely be given the new grant (modulo changes in federal budget) My understanding: Rutgers and other universities who were applying for new grants had the grant approval pulled after panel-review stage and at an approval step that in previous years was pro forma As a result, many institutions (I don’t know how many, I’ve heard at least 20%) had to cancel their REU programs.
