Trump&#8221; stating that their position was &#8220;terminated, effective immediately.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I wasn&#8217;t entirely surprised, to be honest,&#8221; said dismissed board member Keivan Stassun in an email. Stassun, who works at Vanderbilt University, added that the decision was &#8220;enormously disappointing.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>The National Science Board was created in 1950 to advise the president and Congress on science and engineering policy, approve major funding awards and guide the NSF&#8217;s future.  <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s typically made up of 25 members appointed by the president who serve staggered, six-year terms. The fired scientists hail from academia and industry and specialize in areas including astronomy, math, chemistry and aerospace engineering.  <\/p>\n<p>Every member of the current 22-person board was let go, according to terminated member Yolanda Gil. The board had planned to meet in person next week and was finalizing a report on the state of U.S. science, Gil said in an email. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think this is one more indication of the sweeping changes that the administration has in mind for the NSF,&#8221; said Gil, who works at the Information Sciences Institute of the University of Southern California. <\/p>\n<p>Maria Cantwell, the top Democrat on the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, said in a statement that the move was &#8220;a dangerous attack on the institutions and expertise that drive American innovation and discovery.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration tried to cut the science foundation&#8217;s $9 billion budget by more than half last year. Congress maintained NSF&#8217;s funding, but a similar slash is once again on the table for the coming year. <\/p>\n<p>Without an advisory board in the way this time, Stassun said, such cuts may be easier to execute. <\/p>\n<p>It could &#8220;eviscerate investments in fundamental research and in the training of the next generation of scientists and engineers for our nation,&#8221; Stassun said.  <\/p>\n<p>The science foundation&#8217;s headquarters was also relocated to a smaller building. Last year, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced it would be moving into the NSF&#8217;s former base in Alexandria, Virginia.  <\/p>\n<p>The National Science Foundation directed a request for comment to the White House. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation  \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"component__item-recirc-block\">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">Go deeper with The Free Press<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__tags\">\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/national-science-foundation-board-fired-trump-administration\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Trump administration has fired members of an independent board that oversees the National Science Foundation.
