The article reports on the 2014 findings of a survey of U.S. university science researchers that state there is less funding available for the performing of basic investigative research. Topics discussed include grant awards from the U.S. National Institutes of Health and the U.S. National Science Foundation, the impact of the U.S. federal government's 2013 sequestration budget cuts on science research, and the likelihood of science students eventually receiving tenured research positions.
