Ooof. What a depressing outlook. So bad for people at NIH, us, and the country as a whole.
Go read this. It's important. "The NIH funds more than 60,000 proposals annually. It supported 99 percent of drugs approved in the U.S. from 2010-2019. The agency has had a hand in “nearly all of our major medical breakthroughs over the past several decades” " 🧪 www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...
Inside the Collapse at the NIH
Administration officials pressured the NIH to avoid clear advice from the agency’s own lawyers to restart grant funding now.

Freezing out the NIH's funding means freezing out American innovation.
Research into curing cancer, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's all delayed.
And ultimately it won't just cost us advancements in life-saving research, it will cost us lives.

NIH funding cuts could have ‘devastating impact’ on medical advancements, Chicago researchers say
The National Institutes of Health under President Donald Trump announced this month that it was cutting payments covering overhead costs for research institutions that receive its grants.

A large portion of grants awarded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health cannot be funded for the foreseeable future because of an indefinite hold on submissions to the Federal Register, according to an email reviewed by The Transmitter.

I made a starter pack for neuroscience folks but I just saw that it’s capped at 150 people. Sorry if I missed anyone! Maybe #neuroscience folks should start making subfield starter packs? 🧪

My plea to Dem leaders, liberal elites, social scientists, and every critical thinker who wants to keep fighting is to think beyond the perennial assumption that working-class drift can only be arrested by tweaking economic policy or talking points. Free to all. www.offmessage.net/p/democrats-...
