Here is a plot in terms of PROJECTS rather than dollars. I am using projects rather than awards so that projects that received supplements do not get double-counted. While the FY25 curve is improving, it seems that the number of funded projects will drop by 3000-4000 compared with FY24.

342 years ago, on the 17th of September 1683, Dutch scientist Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek wrote about his observation of microbes to the Royal Society, which is the first known observation of bacteria in history. Van Leeuwenhoek referred to them as 'diertjes' (Dutch for 'small animals'). #otd #history 🗃️

So that adds up to 340 new R01 that were not funded in this past week alone, due to the multi-year funding mandate. sorry, "strong suggestion".

There is so much bad stuff going on, but you are still someone worth taking care of.

That view is exceptionally naive. As @narosenblum.bsky.social and I wrote last fall, “basic scientific research [is] a long-term investment, one that only governments have the time horizon to make, and it brings enormous payoffs.” It can’t just be moonshots and looking for unicorn behemoths.

Oh, people in the Baltimore area... Shoppers on Eastern Blvd is gonna be closing on October 11th. They gonna have everything marked down etc... So might wanna clear out your deep freezers and get you some shit. ☹️ I got a long pack of 18 drumsticks for like $3 for my mom.

Here is a plot of 4-year multi-year funded new R01s for 2015-2025. NIH has made some 4-year R01s late in the fiscal year to invest the last of the appropriation, but what is happening this year is quite different. I estimate that these new R01s are ~25% of the multi-year funding since July 1.

We are looking for a postdoc to study single-cell transcriptional heterogeneity in the human skin microbiome. We have a new protocol mostly developed, but need someone to see it through. Experience with protocol dev or RNAseq appreciated. Funded by a new grant from MIT-HEALS.

It's been a busy time for NIH grants staff — the agency seems on track to spend its budget this fiscal year But, because of multi-year funding, fewer projects are being funded than in previous years. The number of R grants has fallen from 5,633 to 3,758 analysis by @jaspar.bsky.social

We're hiring (again)! We are looking for an associate professor in cell and molecular biology, with a particular focus on immunology (defined broadly) If you have a great record and exciting plans, consider joining our thriving and welcoming department www.path.ox.ac.uk/vacancy/asso...

A substantial part (but not all) of this increased investment is multi-year funded grants. My current estimate is that multi-year funding has been used in lieu of ~2400 annually funded grants that could have been made. 2/2

Updated update I downloaded the data from NIH Reporter too soon. The large end of the month update had not occurred. Here are the results as of this morning. NIH grants management staff have been busy making awards. 1/2

The GRFP lives!! (due end of October) www.nsf.gov/funding/oppo...

Updating my analysis now that August data should be relatively complete. Not great news... The rate of investment of the appropriation is not increasing and it seems unlikely that the entire appropriation will be committed this year. 1/2

While full solicitation isn’t up, looks like we have 2025 proposal deadlines for the GRFP: www.nsf.gov/funding/oppo...
