"Last week the U.S. government terminated at least 68 grants to 46 institutions totaling nearly $40 million when awarded, according to a government website. Some of the grant money has already been spent, but at least $1.36 million in future support was yanked as a result of the cuts, a significant undercount because estimates were available for less than a third of grants."

A group of NIH funded researchers wanted to let people know about a project to document 'stop work' notices/defunded grants and canceled study sections. They are creating an archive of these based on user submissions at theresearchwelost.com

Most of the data shared will be publicly available through the site (with some redactions for anonymity). They are just getting started. If you want to contribute, there's a link.
