USAID-Supported Climate Researchers - Impact of Global Aid Cuts

Several times over the past year, I've hovered on the button that deletes this LinkedIn page. But I just haven't had the heart to, and I'm still curious.... I want to know how climate adaptation and disaster risk reduction research has been affected by recent global foreign aid cuts. The media has mostly covered this from the perspective of scientists based in the US and the Global North. Nature even published a detailed feature on what the past year of cuts has meant for scientists in the US - read here: https://lnkd.in/gqgYn_MS But USAID wasn't mentioned in the feature, despite there being scientists and researchers supported by USAID as employees or through contracts. I also haven't seen anyone documenting what this looks like for researchers in the regions we worked in, such as Africa, Latin America, the Pacific Islands. I know firsthand that the early-career scholars our program supported were affected, as were researchers across dozens of USAID-funded and other internationally funded initiatives. Do let me know if I'm missing something… if someone has already documented this. So next week, alongside closing the LinkedIn page, I'm planning to launch a short rapid assessment. This is an independent endeavor, not tied to any institution. Open to Global South and Global North perspectives. I'd like to get a quick snapshot that gets turned right back around to the broader community in a short open-access report. ❓ In the context of the past year's impacts on climate adaptation and DRR research, what would you like to most hear from those doing this work? ✨ Drop it in the comments or DM me. I'll do my best to integrate it. Thanks! 🙏

Hi everyone! I'm working on an article for Nature magazine about how to be a good lab citizen when you move on to a new position (things like data transfers, reagent storage, etc.). I'm looking for ideas and people to include in the article...particularly people who recently finished their PhDs or postdocs.
