We are seeing changes in the NSF and NIH (etc.) funding landscape. This has and may continue to result in job cuts, terminations of grants, loss of overhead, and dissolution of programs. GIScientists may benefit from an open discussion about the current research climate.
This is a very informal sharing and listening session on reactions to and strategies for managing the changes in federal funding allocation (both toward and away different priorities) and is open to all. Participants can get new ideas for research support, new knowledge about how institutions are coping, and clarity about proposed legislation and effects.
There is no one speaker or representative from any agency leading or joining the discussion, and we will depend on those who come to the session to share their experiences.
Potential topics of discussion: -How NSF-HEGS (formerly GSS) and related programs that sponsor GIScience research have helped us. -Experiences with NSF funding for GIScientists through a variety of programs. -How academic departments and administrations are managing funding changes. -Ideas for a future webinar or other future directions to continue the conversation. -Other topics of interest.
