🚨🚨This directly affects me, as I may not get year 5 of my award that was set to be renewed 8/1. Spent 4 years of #AHRQ funding to collect data on children with #tracheostomy. If not resolved by 9/30, I may not have the funding to analyze the data. www.sgim.org/news/sgim-an...

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wM...

Stanford’s president and provost release a statement supporting Harvard. stanforddaily.com/2025/04/15/l...

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Proud of my alma mater: “We have informed the administration through our legal counsel that we will not accept their proposed agreement. The University will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights.”

The NIH grant that has supported 38 years of training the best pediatrician-scientists in the country (I’m a proud former recipient) was cancelled. It was just approved for a 5 year renewal. The PSDP has supported the careers of many NIH-funded pediatrician-scientists and thought leaders

This censorship of science is SHAMEFUL. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Preliminary injunction in nationwide indirect cost rate case. This means that the judge found that the plaintiffs (AAMC, et al.) are likely to win on the merits when the ruling is finalized. www.statnews.com/2025/03/05/n...

The University of Pittsburgh confirmed Friday that there would be no new Ph.D. offers of admission while Pitt works to understand how reduced federal aid could impact the institution.

This is a five-alarm fire 🔥 for US science 🧪. (We keep saying that, but it keeps being true 😭.) Trump and Musk are blocking *ALL* NIH grants ‼️ by "exploiting a loophole in the process"—stopping study sections & council meetings. Every biomedical researcher in the country should be screaming. 1/

Wonderful to collaborate with @lkelley-quon.bsky.social!

How Capping NIH Indirect Costs at 15% Hurts Science, Jobs, and Public Health 1/ The new cap to indirect costs at 15% on NIH grants may sound like a way to cut wasteful spending. In reality, it would devastate biomedical research, slow medical breakthroughs, and cost jobs. Y'all know I love a good 🧵

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

“This is a blatant attempt to gut the universities and health research that have saved so many lives and given economic opportunity to so many people.” @iwashyna.bsky.social on impact of new NIh order to cut research indirect costs. www.statnews.com/2025/02/07/n...

🚨 🚨

Withdrawal of funding mid-trial is a serious violation of research ethics and implicates all of us who engage in clinical research. Ethical review boards around the world will have to re-evaluate allowing US-funded projects. The balance between harm-benefit is complexly upended.

BREAKING NEWS: CDC orders mass retraction and revision of submitted research across all science and medicine journals. Banned terms must be scrubbed. Goes beyond MMWR +other CDC pubs. Applies to research already submitted to top medical journals. Take a look. open.substack.com/pub/insideme...

thinking this morning about how the NIH's definition of diversity also includes uplifting struggling Americans of all races and genders (formerly homeless, on WIC, foster kids, first-gen students, rural Americans, etc)

“The White House budget office is ordering a pause to all grants and loans disbursed by the federal government…” including all research grants! 🚨 🚨

The NIH diversity supplement pages have all been pulled down. What is a diversity supplement and why should the public care? A diversity supplement is funding to help diversify the research workforce. You may be wondering, “so what?”. Let me explain. www.nigms.nih.gov/Pages/PageNo...

"Health disparities research" is a field of study where researchers look at how things like race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status can influence health outcomes. Now any gov't website about this says "page not found". This is a dystopia that I did not imagine that we'd be living through.

Welp! NIH diversity supplement grants now have newly updated expiration dates dates of January 2025 revised from May 2026. 🤷‍♀️ grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

I wanted to get more data, but people have been asking/commenting, so here goes. (Disclaimers first: I'm no expert, and estimates based on what info I could find online). First, 20 highest & lowest paid specialties per @doximity.bsky.social. Green=surgical, yellow=adult medicine, blue= #Peds.

#HCWvsHunger 2024 was monumental. ❤️

Just logged my donation for #KidVengers for #HCWvsHunger

Excited to share our recently published pilot study where we provided grocery gift cards and frozen meals to families after hospital discharge. There was a significant decrease in caregivers who reported food insecurity after discharge! More here:

Congratulations to my collaborators and mentees for submitting 10+ abstracts to the PAS and ATS annual conferences. Excited to see the presentations next year.

Trying this out. Looking forward to connecting with others about pediatrics, pediatric hospital medicine #PHM, clinical research, children with medical complexity, #DEI, and #mentorship
