Uplift those whose research you admire. Diversify the academy.
Many ways to do this:

-If you are in an academy, nominate to it (did 3 this month)
-cite them in a paper and/or talk

Very smart, high ROI initiative from the Spencer Foundation.
Providing bridge funding for canceled NSF grants:
1) directs funds to projects already screened by a top-noch review process.
2) avoids imposing proposal prep costs on researchers.
3) ameliorates the disruption from GOP sabotage.
