The National Postdoctoral Association (NPA) conducted a survey among its members, asking postdoctoral researchers to provide feedback on the impact of federal executive branch policies during the six-week period from January 20 to February 28, 2025.

The survey received responses from 293 postdocs, offering valuable insights into how these federal actions have affected them, which specific actions have had the most significant impact, and which federal agency primarily funds their work.
