A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

I am somehow for the first time ever reviewing for PNAS and their reviewer instructions include this BANGER of a line:
"The purpose of peer review is not to demonstrate proficiency in identifying flaws"
Print it in eleventy point font and hang it from the hillside. Scream it from the rooftops.

The whole thing is important, but listen until the end: the US depends a lot on the flow of capital into the country because it is perceived as the safest port in a storm. Once that is no longer true, a lot of things Americans take for granted go away.
A top economics reporter goes off script on national TV: “I am going to say this at risk of my job, but what President Trump is doing is insane.”

Pittsburgh universities receive $840M from the NIH annually, making us one of the nation’s leading biomedical research centers. It’s part of our bedrock and it’s being undermined.

A kindergartner’s hopes for beating cancer are tied to federal grants now on the chopping block | CNN
A family whose 6-year-old is battling cancer says a move to slash funding by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for research at universities and medical centers would be “devastating.”

Regarding CSR Study Sections:
SROs are apparently being told that their communication to their valued reviewer colleagues must be:
"The xxxx meeting will be rescheduled for a later date, yet to be determined. Thank you for the time you've invested in the reviews. Signed by CSR SRO"
Please be kind

The NIH overhead cut doesn't just hurt universities.
It's deadly to the US economy.
The US is a world leader in tech due to the ecosystem that NIH and NSF propel. It drives innovation for tech transfer, creates a highly-skilled sci/tech workforce, and fosters academic/industry crossfertilization.

2. While NSF and NIH indeed have a mission to fund specific research innovations via grantmaking, they do a lot more than that.
Their principal role is support a scientific ecosystem in the United States, that includes everything from education and training to infrastructure and communication.

Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings.
But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.
