NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

This may be an extreme outlier for cases you’ve considered, but RNAseq count data uses NB over Poisson, I assume because of over-dispersion and 0-inflation.
