Action Alert Reminder: Tell Congress to Save NSF’s Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences Directorate!

In early April, the Trump Administration released its budget request for fiscal year (FY) 2027. In it, the Administration states its intent to dismantle the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) Directorate in FY 2027. The SBE Directorate is responsible for nearly two-thirds of funding for academic research in the social and behavioral sciences in the U.S. However, even more concerning are reports that NSF leadership may be taking steps to begin dismantling the Directorate this year. In response to this news, COSSA immediately issued an action alert that has resulted in more than 2,000 letters being sent to Congress.

Now is the time to come together as a community and urge Congress to intervene and protect the SBE Directorate from the Administration’s devastating plan. Join the over 2,000 advocates and write to your House Representative and Senators TODAY to share your concerns and urge them to intervene.
