Scientists Sue National Science Foundation Over Closure of Social Science Directorate

Scientists Sue National Science Foundation Over Closure of Social Science Directorate

Three scientific societies and two college instructors filed a federal lawsuit on November 9 against the National Science Foundation (NSF) and its acting director, Brian Stone. The lawsuit seeks to prevent the closure of the Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE), which is responsible for funding the majority of federal basic research in these fields. The plaintiffs argue that NSF leaders violated the Administrative Procedure Act and the agency's founding law by announcing the closure in April without consulting the National Science Board or providing an official reason. The complaint, filed in federal court in Boston, states that the closure would cause irreparable harm to scientific research and thousands of jobs. SBE annually distributes approximately $247 million in grants, representing nearly two-thirds of federal funding in these areas. Since the announcement, almost all of the directorate's staff have been reassigned. NSF spokesperson Mike England stated that the directorate ...
