NIDDK supported research has directly impacted patients with diabetes by highlighting the importance of glucose control in type 1 diabetes and the importance of importance of lifestyle intervention and metformin in reducing progression to type 2 diabetes. diabetesjournals.org/diabetes/art...

“…as a reflection of work done across the entire NIH, [NIDDK] is a prime example of government monies well spent.”

The economic impact of NIH funding: $36.94 billion awarded to researchers in the US in FY2024. This funding supported 407,782 jobs and generated $2.56 in new economic activity for every $1 invested. www.nih.gov/about-nih/wh...

NIDDK supported research has generated: 14 Nobel Prizes and 5 Lasker Awards Dual published commentary in Diabetes and Diabetes Care diabetesjournals.org/care/article...

We've been tracking unlawful NIH grant terminations for 3 weeks. Spread the word👇! Fellow PIs: what can you do upon termination? ✅ Email PO + document questions ✅ Submit FOIA ✅ Advocate to your OCG/OSP for appeal + litigation ✅ Consider outside litigation ✅ Donate to state AGs + legal orgs 1/🧵

It’s been a devastating 24 hours with 3 NIH grants terminated…all focused on the health and wellbeing of trans or intersex youth. If folks have any ideas of foundations that may be interested in supporting the completion of these projects so years of work aren’t wasted, please let me know. 🙏

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Horrible news - The Adolescent Medicine Trials Networks for HIV/AIDS Interventions (ATN) funded by the NIH has just been terminated. Stopping a clinical trial mid-course like this is insane. www.nichd.nih.gov/research/sup...

🚨 ALL my remaining NIH grants were just terminated Without philanthropic gifts, this is the end of 1️⃣ my career (as I know it) 2️⃣ @lgbtqhealthexce.bsky.social 3️⃣ our LGBTQ health equity work Yet, reading about LGBTQ families in my kid's class reminded me: love knows no bounds 🌈 You with us?

It is so important to study how mechanisms, symptoms, progression, and treatment of disease differ from white men.

Just found out NIH has officially canceled our grant, a longitudinal study of Alzheimer's disease in Black Americans. I cannot even put into words how angry I am. The truth is they are canceling it because it has Black in the title. That's it, there is no other reason to do this.

This article has some action items. A strongman wants you to feel helpless. Find your coalition. Don’t wait for war or financial crisis to wake up. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/21/o...

🧪 The NSF director is lying to you. Let’s fact check 7 claims from yesterday’s letter to the community, while pointing out 3 critical omissions. 🧵

I received one of the 232 NIH grant "terminations" sent to scientists at Columbia last night. My research focuses on improving maternal and child health in the US. Also affected: ongoing clinical trials, research training programs, and research centers that aim to improve the health of Americans.

This was a fun one-Check it out!
