Abstract
Shortly after taking office, US President Donald Trump issued executive orders banning federal funding on so-called “woke” research.
This is part of his broader ban on all diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies, grants and programs in the US government.
These orders are massive in scope, impacting studies as varied as stroke recovery, computing and ancient languages.
The impact in the United States so far has been dramatic. Some universities are already cutting student admissions and looking at ways to shed academic staff and researchers.
Now the ban has impacted Australian researchers who have links to US government-funded projects. The Trump Administration is asking for information on how their research fits in with US foreign and domestic policy.
