I have an office in a university research-based office complex.

I'm retired and only stop in occasionally to work on my own projects these days. Earlier this week, I asked one of the residents of the office complex if anyone in the group had had a research grant yanked by DOGE. He told me, no, not yet, but that one of the researchers had an NSF [National Science Foundation] grant that he was afraid to start work on for fear that his funding would be yanked mid-project. I wonder how many other researchers there are out there that find themselves in the same fearful situation. We know that DOGE has yanked the funding for a lot of research grants in progress or before they can even start, but how much more already-funded research is going undone these days because of this fear?
