“Your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution and we are going to wash it off.” NIH top career people, take this attitude too. You do not need to implement illegal orders just because they are in an EO. Stand up, NIH! If you don’t Trump will fire you eventually anyway.

If you're an #HIV #vaccine researcher whose #NIH grant was terminated, stopped, paused, or modified this week, we could use your report at grant-watch.us/submit-nih.h...

Yup.

At the end of this summer, the future of U.S. science and research will be decided. From weather alerts to cancer breakthroughs, science shapes every part of our lives. We need everyone in this fight. The Summer Fight for Science starts now. Are you in? The fight starts here: bit.ly/4ddiuqU

For those with terminated NSF and NIH grants, there is a tracking system; here is the link to report your terminated grant(s); the intention is to advocate for the major loss to scientific research. grant-watch.us

What is going on at NIH? ‘Chaos and Confusion’ at the Crown Jewel of American Science www.nytimes.com/2025/03/24/h...

@mcuban.bsky.social this is a long shot but my account is small & the losses to science are too great to not ask for favors. Please consider getting the word out about AHRQ & NIH funding cuts. We are losing a generation of scientists & American innovation. Thanks! 🤞🙏

New NIH advisory council just dropped! Looks like the spigot is finally creaking open… www.federalregister.gov/public-inspe... @jeremymberg.bsky.social

EVERYONE need to looks at this long list of terminated grants.

BREAKING: The Continuing Resolution cloture motion has passed 62-38, advancing the CR to a final vote. These are the Democrats who voted to invoke cloture:

And it’s over. Ms. Cortez-Masto, Mr. Durbin, Mr. Fetterman, Ms. Hassan, Mr. King, Mr. Peters, Mr. Schatz, and Mr. Schumer should be utterly ashamed.

!!!

Updated the NIH CSR study section tracking sheet to include meetings originally scheduled for 03/17-03/21. There are now over *two hundred* study sections that didn't meet as scheduled. Likely an undercount due to things I couldn't scrape orig date was removed. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Can someone out there please explain to me how terminating funding for research focused on promoting “health and healthcare among those living with disabilities” or identifying “risk and protective factors for family health and family-level interventions” is Making America Healthy Again?

If scientists and doctors don't resist, it makes it harder for the rest of us to do so. We'll still prevail, but it will be harder to do. Timothy Snyder (Yale historian of autocracy) says to not obey in advance. www.donotobeyinadvance.com/portfolio/do... Maybe this will help, too:

It should be very clear to every Senate Democrat that any vote for Cloture will also be considered a vote for the bill. People aren’t going to be tricked with procedural games. They know exactly what is going on. Defend Medicaid. Vote NO on Cloture. NO on bill.

@bennet.senate.gov you must vote NO on the CR. Protect Medicaid. Protect science.

‪Scott Delaney‬‬ ‪@scott-delaney.bsky.social‬‬ NIH is cancelling grants, but it's not clear exactly what they're cancelling and why. I've started a Google Sheet to track grant cancellations. Add any canceled grants you know of and spread the word! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

We have a winner...

“A little bit of an adjustment period”? #SOTU #STFU

FACT - Trump Republican tax cuts are ONLY for people making OVER $360,000 a year FACT - actual House Republican budget unveiled last week did NOT include removing taxes on tips, overtime, or Social Security FACT - Republicans are planning to KILL the tax deduction for mortgages

This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it’s almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid

Congrats @meidastouch.com !!! www.newsweek.com/meidas-touch...

Feels like a good time to remind folks to sign & share to tell the major #airlines, DOT & FAA that we don't feel safe flying as long as #ElonMusk is meddling with the #FAA or Air Traffic Control systems!

This is a really good explanation of what is currently going on at the NIH. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

There needs to be more awareness around this. Funding for new proposals cannot resume until these meetings are published. Delaying sections and councils by even a few weeks will creat catastrophic funding gaps that would spell the end of valuable, cutting-edge research before it even begins.

I just covered this for @thetransmitter.bsky.social — will keep following! www.thetransmitter.org/funding/fede...

There were news reports about grant reviews resuming in early February (e.g. www.science.org/content/arti...) but why is there no news coverage about how advisory councils continue to be cancelled today with no signs (per the register) that they are resuming? This needs attention outside bsky yes?

#Medsky #Oncsky #Cansky if you read one thing today about the NIH freeze read this. So much vital is learned through these studies that might seem meaningless to folks.

For anyone looking for a detailed description of how NIH covers the overhead costs linked to funded research projects, this is a great video that breaks down the history and rationale for this critical part of the funding process. youtu.be/1XvVibv2opQ

HOPE ALERT: For everyone worried about the devastating implications for universities of the change to the NIH indirects, @sbagen.bsky.social explains the feasibility of a successful legal challenge. buttondown.com/sbagen/archi...

Move intentionally and build things.

😱😢

Ok but in this case the ICs replaced it Dec 31 with an attempt to evade the axe. Twill be interesting to see if the language tweaks let this survive. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

This article--on the systematic dismantling of the NIH, NSF, and CDC--is a must-read not only for researchers and clinicians but for anyone who has ever gotten a vaccine, taken medication, read the results of a research study, or gotten tested for Covid, flu, or STIs. www.science.org/content/blog...

Take a moment to thank all the NIH and CSR folks who are working under trying conditions to ensure we get our grants in

NIDA council cancelled?!? www.linkedin.com/posts/scotth...

Dear Diary, Super excited about a brand new week of hanging on by a thread.
