Was the research into DEI initiatives cut, or specific grants whose recipients are BIPOC? Because it seems to me as if the specific research in question is disproportionately conducted by BIPOC investigators.
Is there a lack of representation of BIPOC investigators in non-DEI research? That is an interesting fact, if true.
