I just noticed that the 2025 NDSEG Conference is cancelled. Not to speculate too much, but does this indicate a decrease in funding to the program? Has anyone heard from a current Fellow what the rationale for the cancellation is?

several other conferences from various agencies and departments have been canceled as well. I don't think this is necessarily tied to a funding issue but more to do with multiple EOs regarding stopping work on, let's say, "banned" topics. While NIH and NSF bear the brunt of these, the NDSEG falls under several umbrellas that the EOs cover. They don't differentiate by agency as far as I believe so they blanketly apply to everything under the Executive. Likely, DoD received a stop work order related to one of the EOs about the conference.

the official email received by the current fellows cited the EO on restricting government-wide unnecessary travel as the main reason for the conference's cancellation. this tracks, since a lot of NIH conferences started being canceled even before their department-specific funding cuts were announced
