If you're angry about the changing continuous submission policy, submit comments to the #federalregister. The RFI is about the #NIH 2026-2030 strategic plan, and this is relevant. You take the time to serve peer review, you deserve more time for your own grant application.

On the line year anniversary of the HHS Demolition Derby, this is what HHS employees need. This is what the nation's health needs.

I agree with @aniloza.bsky.social . How seriously will our director take the questions, or will he refuse to answer them.

Be vigilant about phishing attacks.

Early diagnosis of #ADRD allows for treatments that slow progression in mild cases. #geronsky #dementia #Alzheimers

Former NINDS Director, Dr. Walter Koroshetz, was a fabulous mentor. "I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for Walter Koroshetz," says Dr. Meghan Mott.

💊What can Alzheimer’s treatment learn from Ozempic and Prozac? Breakthrough drugs don’t just treat disease — they transform how we define, diagnose, and invest in it. LDI Fellow Jason Karlawish explores what this could mean for Alzheimer’s in @statnews.com https://bit.ly/40F9tRX

Here come interesting changes for us...

The 2026 #Dementia Care Summit registration has opened. Take a look at the agenda and tune into the virtual sessions with us, March 17-19! #geronsky #ADRD

We congratulate the former #NIH Director, Dr. Collins, on this honor.

From our awardee, Joe Gaugler, at @umnsph.bsky.social : The State Alzheimer's Research Support Center (StARS), funded by the National Institute on Aging (U54AG089300), is excited to announce our call for #Dementia Care Innovation Grants! To learn more, see the link below. #geronsky #ADRD

#NIH summer internship is still accepting applications. Find it more and apply by 2/18/2026. Please share.

The #NIH will miss these outstanding scientists. We thank Drs. Chou, Grothaus, Pariyadath, and Romberg for their service to our nation. 🇺🇸

We are sad that a colleague and leader is gone. Walter's best words were to never give up and never surrender. We thank him for his service.

Thank you for helping to shape the agenda for the 2026 #Dementia Care & Caregiving Summit. We will use the questions and comments shared as they plan for the Summit in March 2026. Registration details coming soon. Questions? Contact [email protected]! #geronsky

Early stage investigators are the ones who will become scientific leaders. We invest in them because they then serve on data safety and monitoring boards, peer review panels, and then mentor future early stage investigators.

#NIA invites you to participate in a virtual Pre-Summit Listening Session on 12/10/2025. Share ideas and priorities to inform planning for the 2026 #Dementia Care and Caregiving Research Summit. This is open to all: care partners, persons living with dementia, and anyone interested. #ADRD #geronsky

🚨The #NIH will no longer require an over-the-cap request for applications over $499,999.99/year. Furthermore, we will no longer require letters of intent.🚨

🧵1) Spotlight on Dr. Tara Schwetz PhD 🌴 Like a “palm tree…you sway with the breeze during a calm day, but during a hurricane you also adapt.” This description of Dr. Schwetz, more than any one title, captures the flexibility, courage and mission-first approach of her NIH leadership.

The 1-year mentored training program builds skills and professional networks for postdocs, PhD students, and early-career investigators, interested in using real-world data to improve care of people living with #dementia. Info Webinar 12/08/2025, 1:00 PM ET! #geronsky #statssky #realworlddata

#NIA awardee, Dr. Jie Chen of @publichealthumd.bsky.social , finds that improving health requires building community resilience. In US counties with lower community resilience, there's association with greater odds of cognitive disability, depression, and morbidity. #geronsky

Thank you, @drdemetre.bsky.social for writing this important piece. We cannot ignore that #HIV/AIDS and other health conditions do not exist. Research, funding, and access to the health system are human rights. #publichealthsky

This is how #NIH will fund foreign components.

Really? Then stand up for the #bethesdsdeclaration.

This is very much the best of #NIH. Not everything NIH has done in the past has been perfect, but it's been a lot of serious and thoughtful people dedicated to the mission of improving public health. ❤️

We thank Dr. Dieffenbach for his unwavering service to the country. Fight this. HIV/AIDS is real.

The share of Medicare Advantage enrollees with a chart review record varied substantially across the largest insurers. While chart reviews can be used to both add and remove diagnoses, the far more common outcome is additional diagnoses. https://on.kff.org/3XRl2Ec

Federal requirements limit how long and how far Medicare Advantage members have to travel to see doctors. But when doctors and hospitals leave the plans, Medicare officials rarely check if enough remain. @susanjaffe reports ⤵️ kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

It's true. No more paylines at #NIH.

Our colleagues at the Center for Scientific Review are busting their asses with rescheduling study sections. Please have patience as they work on a very compressed schedule. #NIH #CSR

🧵1. From our colleagues at @27unihted.bsky.social . Spotlight on Dr. Shannon Zenk, PhD, MPH, RN, FAAN “Nursing puts the patient, family, and community at the center of practice and of research.” – Shannon Zenk

It was a great day of research discussion at the #ClinSTAR2025 meeting with @clin-star.org, #PCORI, and #NIH. #geronsky

Some important research published by some awardees of ours. #geronsky

If PIs can be patient with GMs and POs, that would be great.

As many of you know, more than one million federal employees have been furloughed since October 1, 2025. However, we never stop serving the people, near and far. @27unihted.bsky.social has collected 2,000 pounds of food and $20,000 for DC area food banks. #FEDStrong #NIHStrong

It appears the shutdown will extend to December, but we'll keep a close eye on this.

1) From our colleagues at @27unihted.bsky.social . Spotlight on Diana W. Bianchi M.D. The “nation’s pediatrician”, Dr. Bianchi served as Director of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) from 2016 to 2025.

Please keep this in mind when you travel to #GSA2025 next week. Safe travels, #geronsky.

For those of you attending #GSA2025 in Boston, consider this panel of #NIH awardees, Drs. Alden Gross, @mariaglymour.bsky.social , @sfackley.bsky.social , and @bryandjames.bsky.social. Please remember to tag #geronsky and @geronsociety.bsky.social in your posts.

@geronsociety.bsky.social and #geronsky, we are sorry we cannot be in Boston with you next week. We look forward to seeing your posts about important research. Please tag #geronsky to highlight your research.

“Sunday marks day 33 of the government shutdown with no end in sight. Approximately 650,000 furloughed federal workers received fresh notices telling them to stay home without working and without pay, and many are beginning to feel the pinch.” youtu.be/8hL-DJugLCw

From @27unihted.bsky.social : 1. Arriving in the Fall of 2023, Dr. Marrazzo’s time as the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) was short but impactful – marked by her empathy, intelligence and commitment to a research mission that serves patients.

1). Our colleagues at @ncoaging.bsky.social: "Millions of older adults will go hungry if SNAP benefits stop on November 1. Not having enough nutritious food can lead to malnutrition and worsen chronic conditions," says Ramsey Alwin, President and CEO, National Council On Aging.

A reminder that today at 12 PM, the IMPACT Collaboratory will host its informational webinar about the #ADRD demonstration project grants. Please use the link to register.

#ADRD funding is still happening. Some more #MYF awards have occurred. Let's see how this adjusts the number of projects we will award.

A new @jama.com Insights article by LDI Fellows Kyra O’Brien, Emily Largent, and Jason Karlawish advises clinicians on how to communicate a diagnosis of MCI or dementia—emphasizing triadic communication, personalized content, and emotional support. http://doi.org/10.1001/jama.2025.13006
