The US National Science Foundation has awarded roughly 90% fewer new grants this year in fields it funds, including sociology, linguistics and archaeology. Researchers describe the situation as 'complete devastation', warning that social sciences research in the United States is being hollowed out and that projects and careers are being lost. The funding collapse is drawing sharp criticism from scientists concerned about the long-term health of these disciplines.
