THE RECORD
Trump and American Science
A documented chronology of major actions affecting American science during the second Trump administration. The record is curated at the policy level: it consolidates related incidents rather than attempting to list every cancelled grant, altered webpage, personnel action, or other individual consequence.
How to read this record. The Action and Immediate Effect fields are factual summaries. Classification and Longer Significance state the analytical interpretation used for The Rise and Fall of Federal Science.
Status matters: proposed, ordered, implemented, blocked, vacated, reversed, and congressional constraints are distinguished. An announced proposal should not be read as an accomplished cut.
