Federal grant freeze?

Post by monoid1066 » Tue Jan 28, 2025 4:03 pm

Does anyone have any thoughts on how the freeze might impact mathematics phd students/applicants this cycle and in the future? Will admissions be more competitive? Will schools have to rescind admissions or funding offers? Or will mathematics remain largely unaffected?

This is a topic I really don't understand very well so some help would be appreciated.

I am wondering and being confused too. NIH (National Institute of Health) is clearly the epicenter, but I am not sure if it will affect math.

Yeah it isn't the intake seems to be more or less the same.

Pton has just (unofficially) confirmed that graduate support will continue this cycle, also considering endowed funds.

The freeze is confirmed to be not happening anymore.

They rescinded the memo but are still insisting on the freeze. We'll have to see what happens to it in court.

Columbia has announced to cut off 2025 PhD recruitment in GSAS by 65%. https://x.com/SW_Columbia/status/1885839110272671980. Does this has any relation with the university funding/federal grant they receive? If Columbia did so, I'm so afraid the same situation occurs for many other universities... :cry:
