SNAP Changes Will Upend State Budgets

"My team at the Georgetown Center on Poverty & Inequality mapped the impact of SNAP [Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program] cuts in the Republican megabill. The new, interactive map reveals how much each state’s SNAP costs are expected to rise in the years ahead — both in dollars and as a share of state budgets." — Lelaine Bigelow

Roundtable: How To Cover Science During Sociopolitical Disruption

"Since the beginning of 2025, many journalists have found themselves in one of the toughest phases of their careers. The second Trump administration has systematically dismantled the practice of science in the U.S. ... Five journalists whose coverage of science has been upended by the current U.S. administration took part in a roundtable discussion on this issue. Between assignments, they shared the challenges they’ve faced while reporting in recent months, and some of the workarounds they’ve found to disentangle fact from fiction, work with hesitant sources, and strike the right balance between science and politics."

STAT: Backing Up and Monitoring CDC Data in Real Time

STAT began monitoring the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s data platform regularly on Jan. 31, 2025. The page continues to be updated whenever CDC data changes are discovered. You'll find a table where you can download original copies of datasets removed from the CDC’s site. Caveat: "STAT’s backup files were captured between Jan. 29 and Jan. 31, and they reflect data as it was published on the CDC’s site at that time. .... some files have be reuploaded to the CDC’s site. Files in STAT’s backup could be out of date compared with what’s available from the CDC. Unless you have a specific concern about censorship, if the data you want is available on data.cdc.gov, you should get it from there."

2025 Study Section Tracking

This is a spreadsheet tracking study sections that were canceled or delayed after the Trump administration took office. Study sections are required meetings to review NIH grant applications. By law, notices of study section meetings must appear in the Federal Register at least 15 days in advance of assembly. In February 2025, the Trump administration "barred the NIH from posting any new notices to the Federal Register as part of a freeze on communications across health agencies," disrupting the previously set study section schedule. The spreadsheet was created and is managed by Annika Barber at Rutgers.

The Impact Project

"The Impact Project is a nonpartisan data and research initiative that makes government data more transparent and accessible, and produces actionable insights to help reimagine how government, private industry, nonprofits, and civil society can better work together to build more resilient communities. Through our interactive Impact Maps, we produce multi-layered datasets to show the localized impacts of shifts in federal policy, funding, and workforce decisions. We also produce program- and sector-specific dashboards to drill into data from these maps to make it easier for anyone to access key insights. We are also generating original analysis to identify actionable insights for policymakers, nonprofits, civil society, and private industry across the political spectrum."
