I'm very confused by this article, which links to the draft in question[0], which is quite short and can be seen by anyone who reads it not to say anything like what the article claims. It doesn't say anything about findings or results. It says that before a research project is funded, the director of NSF has to publicly certify that the research is worth doing. Which seems pretty dumb, but as far as I can tell this article is nothing but blatant lies, banking on an assumption that readers won't check the facts. Weird.
