Bradley Moore, overseeing a lab at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, is facing significant funding delays that threaten the jobs of early-career researchers he considers family. Despite nearly twenty team members, many of whom have contracts expiring, Moore is unable to extend contracts or hire new personnel. With most of his lab's funding coming from federal sources, he relies on long-term research investments that are currently under review. Moore's commitment to his team reflects the challenges faced in academic research amidst uncertain funding conditions.
My lab's government funding is in limbo, and I'm doing everything I can to avoid firing people before their professional lives fully start.
I depend on federal money. My lab gets almost all of its money from the federal government, which is more willing to invest in long-term research than private corporations or philanthropies.
