President Donald Trump reportedly fired the entire National Science Board on Friday. Details are murky, as the White House has not formally announced the firings and news is trickling in from board members who have publicly spoken out about the termination emails they received. The board\u2019s website <\/use> <\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/span> remains unupdated, still showing its previous membership and a quarterly meeting scheduled for May 5. The National Science Foundation declined to comment and referred all questions to the White House, which did not respond to a request for details before publication.<\/p>\n

The board is required by statute and has existed since the 1950s. It plays a major role in establishing NSF policy and advises Congress and the president on scientific issues. The 24 committee members are scientific experts who are selected by the president and serve 6-year terms in a part-time capacity. NSB Chair Victor McCrary and Vice Chair Aaron Dominguez were elected to lead the board last August after former NSB Chair Dar\u00edo Gil left to lead the Department of Energy\u2019s Office of Science. The board was scheduled <\/use> <\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/span> to meet on April 16 to discuss its next election, but canceled that meeting and never rescheduled it.<\/p>\n

The firings will likely add to the tumult at NSF. The foundation has been without a confirmed director since April 2025, has shed roughly a third of its staff since the start of 2025, and is currently transferring its operations from a custom-built office to a building a few blocks away. The White House proposed halving the agency\u2019s budget last year and has made a similar proposal <\/use> <\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/span> for the next budget cycle. The proposed cut would also reduce NSB\u2019s budget from $5 million to $3 million.<\/p>\n

The firings have drawn swift criticism from scientific societies and Democratic leaders. House Science Committee Ranking Member Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) released a statement <\/use> <\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/span> implying that Trump may seek to replace the board with \u201cMAGA loyalists who won\u2019t stand up to him.\u201d Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee Ranking Member Maria Cantwell (D-WA) called the firings <\/use> <\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/span> \u201ca dangerous attack on the institutions and expertise that drive American innovation and discovery.\u201d Association of American Universities President Barbara Snyder said <\/use> <\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/span> the firings leave NSF \u201crudderless,\u201d and the American Association for the Advancement of Science issued a statement <\/use> <\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/span> calling the move \u201cdestabilizing.\u201d The Association of Public Land-Grant Universities said <\/use> <\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/span> it was \u201cdismayed\u201d by the firings. Union of Concerned Scientists CEO Gretchen Goldman criticized the firings as an \u201cunseemly political maneuver\u201d aimed at limiting independent science.<\/p>\n

The House Commerce, Justice, Science Appropriations Subcommittee will likely unveil its budget proposal for 2027 this week. The committee\u2019s jurisdiction includes NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the Commerce Department (which includes the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Institute of Standards and Technology). A markup <\/use> <\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/span> of the bill is scheduled for Thursday, though a text has not been released as of publication. The committee has been allocated roughly $77 billion <\/use> <\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/span> to distribute among the agencies under its jurisdiction.<\/p>\n

Other notable appropriations bills for science are slated to receive mark-ups in their House subcommittees later in May. These include the Energy-Water bill, which covers the Energy Department; the Interior-Environment bill, which covers most of the Interior Department (including the U.S. Geological Survey) and the Environmental Protection Agency; and the Labor, Health, and Education bill, which covers the National Institutes of Health and the Education Department. The equivalent committees in the Senate have not announced a schedule.<\/p>\n
