The Senate version of the NIH appropriations bill has language that limits the use of multiyear/upfront funding. Please call your Senators and Representatives to make sure it is in the final bill. We must stop the brain drain in our research workforce before it's too late.

"Bhattacharya also persuaded Voughtâs office to slow the rollout in 2026 of a plan to award all NIH multiyear grants as a single lump sumâonly 50% of grants will follow that policy immediately." To be fair, this was good, advocating for the forward funding to be only 50%.

"In particular, they persuaded HHS to renew scientists on term-limited appointments who were to be laid off." This is likely untrue. The major switches about renewals came after media exposure. That includes myself. It also includes the 12+ neuroscience PIs at NINDS. After

Papers do not equal grant funding. You do not âearnâ NIH funding by being good at the game of publishing papers in fancy journals. If you think it will get super easy to get a NIH grant once you puâŠ

And, because you're always just one or two failed funding cycles from ruin, you're constantly asking for more money than you actually need, and then you get the grants and need to hire people, and then later you don't want to fire them, and on it goes. 2/2

I'm convinced large labs are a survival mechanism in a hypercompetitive funding environment. You need the critical mass to write the big papers that allow you to get the next round of funding. 1/2

This is grounds for firing and for being cancelled as a scientist. Total violation of professional obligations under research ethics.

GM has enough T32s that ours have been grouped into 2 panels. Thatâs somewhat helpful. all the Ks now reviewed through CSR and not IC specific panels is going to be something interesting tooâŠ.

So you guys understand, this is incredibly important for program officers. We are worried about having enough applications to fund. For T32s in particular, these were normally reviewed at the ICs. Now at CSR. I had 4 applications that would normally have been discussed and scored that weren't.

I agree, very likely 70% extends beyond just these 2 cycles. I wonder if the competitive but not discussed folks will resubmit or instead do an A0.

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? đ
