An update on the #IPAM funding situation: the NSF has now approved an extension of funding of the institute for another five years, after a gap of several months where we have been using donations and other emergency funding sources to continue operations. https://www.ipam.ucla.edu/news/nsf-support-for-ipam-renewed-for-2025-2030/
The funding is (as we had already expected) at sharply reduced levels compared to the previous 5-year cycle, so we are still continuing to fundraise to reach a full level of operations, but we now at least have some guarantee of reaching minimal levels of activity, which was not at all certain until now.
