How are folks handling this change in NIH open access policies? Submitting to journals that comply with the new NIH policy for immediate release without requiring an open access fee?

Strange trend for researchers to be aware of: participants are using Chat GPT to respond to open-ended questions at the end of surveys. Be sure to look for common indicators of GenAI before coding qualitative data (e.g., numbered lists, double asterisks, etc.)

Oh you want to address health disparities, decrease chronic illness, alleviate mental health problems, decrease maternal and infant mortality, and prevent diabetes/cancer/dementia/heart disease?????? UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

Looking at grant reporter, it seems like the NIMH is focusing on issuing NOAs for grant renewals. In August, they issued 393 NOAs, of which only 23 were for new projects Total NOAs: reporter.nih.gov/search/-raDb... NOAs for new projects: reporter.nih.gov/search/9PUrD...

The House discretionary budget bill is now out for FY26, including a proposed *slight boost* in NIH funding & many other components that will take time to unpack. Bill text: appropriations.house.gov/sites/evo-su... A few key points including IDC analysis in a provisional 🧵

House LHHC bill is out. Lots of hits to HHS, but the top line number for NIH is 1% decrease, mostly due to cuts ARPA-H. This seems like a huge rejection of the president's budget request.

If this is turning into a battle, then the researchers’ possible counter is to normalize updating preprints and CVs with “accepted at journal x” as sufficient for getting publication credit and not pay the fees.

In this episode of Science in Translation, Sara Becker, PhD, discusses steps taken to make dissemination and implementation training more accessible to investigators while intentionally bridging the gap between what we know and what we do — bit.ly/4lMxVZS

Job Posting I am pleased to share 2 ads for Assistant Professor of Psych (tenure track) positions at my university (West Chester University of PA). I am chairing the clinical psych search. Please reach out with questions ([email protected]), review of apps begin in a few weeks. Ad links in comment.

TL;DR: 5 justices say Trump doesn't have to immediately restore the funding, but 5 *also* signal that the underlying directives are unlawful. That sends a fairly strong (if mixed) message that Trump will lose these cases *eventually,* but only once they're brought in the Court of Federal Claims.

A helpful explainer from @stevevladeck.bsky.social ⤵️ Steve finds some positives here bc Barrett signaled that plaintiffs might win in the Court of Federal Claims (CFC). But you can't just pause research for so many months & restart it after you win in the CFC. The research is effectively gone.

I managed to track it down... www.hhs.gov/grants-contr...

Excited to share our new paper as we begin PhD admission season! 🎓While programs have taken steps to foster a more holistic review, the emphasis on research experience may still limit diversity in training + the psychology workforce. We offer suggestions for faculty: psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?d...

Applying for graduate studies in psychology and neuroscience can be challenging and confusing. Frequently, applicants have some support from mentors at their home institutions, but sometimes applicants are looking for additional reassurance, feedback, or perspectives on the processes.

Pls comment on this NIH RFI on limiting allowable publishing costs by 9/15. osp.od.nih.gov/comment-form... This is completely in conflict w/ the other new mandate that we must have our research be OA immediately (and publishers like Wiley not allowing submission to PMC immediately if we don't pay)..

This article is absolutely fascinating. A must read for those in mental health or ai fields of how chatbots can support delusions via their excessive use of praise and tendency to follow users’ line of thinking Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/08/t...

“Science is evidence, not instruction.” In his latest piece, AcademyHealth CEO Dr. @aaronecarroll.bsky.social explores how missteps in science communication have fueled skepticism and what we can do to restore trust in evidence-based policymaking. Read more: buff.ly/QqB7Xl5

Here are some of the highlights of the appropriations bill that the Senate appropriations committee just approved: $48.7 billion for NIH, an increase of $400 million Rejects the proposal to cap indirect cost rates at 15% Includes a provision to prevent MYF that would reduce the number of grants

🧪 Senate appropriators say: NIH's budget gets a... boost! Rather than 40% cut, NIH gets a $400M *increase* in the Senate committee bill for FY26 (about +1%). "Congress has your back," said @murray.senate.gov. ADVOCACY MATTERS! There's still a long road (esp in the House), so keep up pressure.

🧪BREAKING: NIH has laid out 5 options for funding publications costs on grants (yes, FIVE!). This is hugely impactful. Make your opinions known by September 15, fellow scientists. 🧪 grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Some potential policy requests you could make: 1️⃣ NO cuts to NIH budget for next year 2️⃣ Protective measures to ensure appropriated funds are spent as intended (see post below) 3️⃣ Any changes to multi-year funding must come with increased temporary $ support from Congress

Vought and his “no more NIH money out the door” footnote is a power struggle. Between R’s getting antsy about hard votes and Senate signaling support for science funding, Vought had to signal his dominance in some way. Now is the real test: are R’s more afraid of Trump et al. or their constituents?

Hey folks: A little while aback, @jschleiderphd.bsky.social and I created a repository of SOPs to help folks prepare for grad applications. If you'd like to add your SOP, feel free to use this form: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... Of note, mask as you desire as I will be posting them as is.

I doubt that there is a single family in America that hasn’t benefitted directly from the NIH.

🧪 What's NIH budget for next year? Dept of Ed? Have heard those Qs repeatedly. Finally, this Thursday, we'll get the *first* glimpse at that in the Senate (link in next post). Have something to say about those budgets? Here's the 29 Senators that matter most right now:
