Background
The spring '25 (?) U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, & Transportation report D.E.I. Division. Extremism. Ideology. How the Biden-Harris NSF Politicized Science identified a list of 698 flagged keywords used to flag NSF grant proposals awarded between 1/20/21 and 4/4/24, with the methodology on pp. 38-39 and the lists given on pp. 40-43 of the report. Common misspellings were deliberately included.
Flagging a grant could mean, but does not necessarily mean, that a proposal being reviewed will be denied or that an existing grant will be canceled. See bit.ly/flagnsf for a formatted list of the keywords, and this article for suggestions on finding replacement words.
