The IRACDA program was one of my favorites at NIGMS, good for the postdocs involved and for the institutions where they taught. Terminating it is just idiocy. Well said @ggnanadesikan.bsky.social
NIH has terminated my IRACDA fellowship. Here are some of my reflections on this moment and why it matters not just to me and my colleagues, but to everyone.

IRACDA at UCSD confirmed done 🫠
I have learned that the directors of ALL: PREP, IMSD, and IRACDA programs across the country have received similar cancelation notices. This follows previous cancellations of MARC and URISE programs. This further dismantles the mechanisms that enable scientific training opportunities for SO MANY.
You want to know the best way to show thanks for chairing a study section? Early the next morning sent them a termination notice for their PREP training grant.

Another terrible day for young scientists. The NIH just sent termination notices for the MARC, PREP, IMSD, IRACDA and Bridges programs.

Just completed day 2 of chairing a NIH study section. Brain is tired after intently listening and leading discussions of ~40 apps. So fulfilling to hear the passion people have for others' science, and heartwarming to see so many people who care about the training and environment of others 🫶 (299!)

We have some very sad news. Today we received notification that our Bridges, MARC, PREP and IRACDA programs have been terminated. We are heartbroken.

Yesterday's announcement canceling MARC, PREP, IMSD & IRACDA finally broke me. Spent most of the morning in my office crying. I think I'd been clinging to a glimmer of hope, but as an IRACDA alum,watching the the scale of loss for young scientists was heartbreaking. 🧪

Huge gratulations to Ankit @nkeet50.bsky.social , postdoc in the lab, for receiving the IRACDA fellowship, a fantastic mechanism that rewards scientific excellence and teaching potential.
My trainees are crushing it, 3/4 of them are self-funded! I wish that would rub off on my grant applications...😬

I have been fortunate to mentor and teach students and postdocs from Rutgers IMSD and IRACDA programs. These programs have trained many amazing scientists who have enriched society inside and outside academia. 💔

All of these programs - KU's Bridge, MARC, PREP, IRACDA and RaMP - have done so much for training Native students in science - and all are currently shuttered on the NIH and NSF websites. I'm beyond heartbroken.
KU's special relationship with Haskell Indian Nations University has helped to significantly increase participation of Native Americans in science through our joint federally funded training programs.

Signed my IRACDA contract for the year only for NIH and NSF to pull some bullshit and suspend all grants to UCLA.... GIRL......

I hope this includes NIGMS programs like IMSD, IRACDA,PREP, MOSAIC etc that train young scientists as they do research and were all terminated today on the same politically-motivated grounds.

Our lab just had a senior grad student get into a highly competitive IRACDA program after years and years of hard work, only to have the program cancelled 48 hours later. We're so angry, and so is Philly!!! Amazing crowds out today marching.

The Tufts University IRACDA (NIH) program has been terminated. This is the program that let me realize my dream of being an inclusive educator and scientist at a Primarily Undergraduate Institution. What a loss for the future.

Thank you @therealdrdukes.bsky.social!!! Your talk was inspiring, balm for the soul, & incredibly motivating.
Rutgers IRACDA postdoc @katiejacobs.bsky.social kicked off with "Roadmap to Lab Outreach." A "how to" guide for labs to act locally & with intention. DEIJA is more important now than ever.

Congratulations to the newly minted Dr. @rinniehewlett.bsky.social on an amazing thesis defense!! Super proud of all you’ve accomplished exploring how nutrition and ecology shape susceptibility to C. diff. Excited to watch what’s to come next in the Tufts IRACDA Program and in Aimee Shen’s lab!!
