Curious if anyone has any creative approaches they have used to display demographic data that was collected using “select all that apply” questions? I have data (N=150) from a diverse set of SGM participants who responded to “select all that apply” on race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, etc.

Really excited that our paper on positive body image among asexual folks has been published! @phaedralonghurst.bsky.social @fidanturk.bsky.social authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...

Announcing such a major change to NSF GRFP this late in the cycle is incredibly cruel. 2nd yr students (mine included) have been working so hard on their proposals despite ongoing uncertainty. They are driven and passionate about being outstanding scientists and helping those coming up behind them.

NSF GRFP is out 2.5 months late w/key changes 1. 2nd year graduate students not eligible. 2. "alignment with Administration priorities" 3. Unlike prior years, they DO NOT specify the expected number of awards... that is a BIG problem. a brief 🧵 w/receipts www.nsf.gov/funding/oppo...

THE NSB (NSF Board) announced the existence and exploration of a pilot program to privatize the GRFP graduate fellowship (my wording). This includes branding opportunities for the companies sponsoring fellowships. This is short sighted and self-destructive, and threatens the mission of the NSF. 1/

Funding opportunity from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation!! Did you study racial or indigenous health inequalities and just lose federal research funds? This might be for you! Brief proposal due May 28. They're holding office hours. See link: www.evidenceforaction.org/funding/rapi...

🧪 ICYMI: $25,000 bridge funding for terminated NSF grants. Major props for to the Spencer, Sloan, W. T. Grant, and Kapor Foundations for their swift action, even though we (and they) know this is a band-aid fix. Due May 30. Applications are brief: a 2-3 page memo of 6-month plans & other docs.

I was wondering if anyone who got a clinical psych PhD in the US and/or got licensed in the US has experience applying for predoctoral internships in Canada. I would love to hear more about what this process looked like from folks who have experience navigating it.

Calling fellow scientists - in this time of unprecedented attacks on research at universities, it is time we raise awareness about how science impacts your community and how your community impacts your research. A group of young scientists at Cornell has an... blogs.cornell.edu/asap/events-...

Why precisely 1000? Were they really only 1000 meritorious applicants? Or did someone in DOGE-land decide that there had to be an arbitrary cap with a nice round number. Again and again, the Trump administration shows that it is serious... about dismantling America's innovation economy.

🚨 Not a drill: NSF GRFP results are NOW OUT!!!!! But...good news and bad news. 👍 I'm *thrilled* for the grad students for whom getting this award will be life-changing, esp now. 👎 # of fellowships went down by 51% (1000 this year vs. 2036 last year) See here: www.research.gov/grfp/Awardee...

🚨 Attention NIH & NSF grantees! AAAS is hosting a rapid response webinar this Friday, 12-1 pm ET, on responding to federal research grant terminations. NIH and NSF will be case examples. Register here: aaas.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Just so we are clear, this is authoritarian censorship.

NIH immediately cancelling existing grants on LGBTQ research. “All the effort we put into building the cohort, all the federal resources that go into building that, are now wasted, essentially.” With @jaceflatt.bsky.social By @angusrohan.bsky.social www.statnews.com/2025/03/03/n...

Please distribute widely! This is a great opportunity to receive a novel eating disorder treatment specifically tailored to the LGBTQ+ community and developed by an LGBTQ+ eating disorder research lab!

If you are on a study section that will not be reviewing diversity fellowships but will be reviewing "regular" fellowships, your next move is clear. Do not participate in the review unless all submissions can be reviewed together. Reclassify diversity grants as "regular" grants & review them all

Some good news - super excited that our commentary was just published in Eating Behaviors: "Disabilities and eating disorders: A theoretical model and call for research" authors.elsevier.com/a/1ka1D_XSc%...

This is not business as usual. It’s not just a change in funding priorities going forward; it is the reneging on funding agreements and is profoundly disruptive for even those grants that will be found to be compliant. Meanwhile, trainees who often live paycheck to paycheck are going unpaid.

Reiterating my call to fellow federally-funded scientists: Call your reps, tell them how this hurts science and everything good that comes from science (Also non-scientists, and scientists without federal funding! But the more of us who can directly speak to the impacts of these freezes the better)
