These are insane statistics. For NSF Geosciences, there have been just 74 grants awarded in the ~6mo of FY26 so far, 19.6% of FY21-24 avg 377. The obligations ($) are larger per grant, but the comparison even to FY25 is even more striking. With only $75M awarded, it's long way to the floor of $1.2B.

For #NSF and #NIH watchers, Grant Witness now has interactive data on numbers of grants and total funding obligations, broken down by institute and directorate, new awards and non-competitive renewals. The stranglehold on new awards is still a disaster. grant-witness.us/funding_curv...
