How badly has NSF funding already been effectively cut?

This NY Times feature lets you see how each piece of NSF's funding has been reduced this year relative to the normalized average spanning in the last decade.  Note: this fiscal year, thanks to the continuing resolution, the actual agency budget has not actually been cut like this. They are just not spending congressionally appropriated agency funds.  The agency, fearing/assuming that its budget will get hammered next fiscal year, does not want to start awards that it won't be able to fund in out-years. The result is that this is effectively obeying in advance the presidential budget request for FY26.  (And it's highly likely that some will point to unspent funds later in the year and use that as a justification for cuts, when in fact it's anticipation of possible cuts that has led to unspent funds.  I'm sure the Germans have a polysyllabic word for this.  In English, "Catch-22" is close.)

I encourage you to click the link and go to the article where the graphic is interactive (if it works in your location - not sure about whether the link works internationally).  The different colored regions are approximately each of the NSF directorates (in their old organizational structure).  Each subsection is a particular program.  

Seems like whoever designed the graphic was a fan of Tufte, and the scaling of the shaded areas does quantitatively reflect funding changes.  However, most people have a tough time estimating relative areas of irregular polygons.  Award funding in physics (the left-most section of the middle region) is down 85% relative to past years.  Math is down 72%.  Chemistry is down 57%.  Materials is down 63%.  Earth sciences is down 80%.  Polar programs (you know, those folks who run all the amazing experiments in Antarctica) is down 88%.  

I know my readers are likely tired of me harping on NSF, but it's both important and a comparatively transparent example of what is also happening at other agencies.  If you are a US citizen and think that this is the wrong path, then push on your congressional delegation about the upcoming budget.
