I got another ND on my NIH grant. While it’s hard to be too frustrated with the current state of things, this one was super frustrating as scored last time and thought the idea was much stronger and addressed the critiques well from the last round.

3 of 4 R01s in limbo as pulled from study section and the one that was actually reviewed was not discussed. Sigh.

This happened to 3 of my 5 grants: assigned, de-assigned, study section canceled, study section rescheduled, grants de-assigned. One should get reviewed and I bet other will be de-assigned again. No chaos here.

Pastrami turned out pretty good. Still wondering, keep doing science or open a bbq joint. Call it “Broken Beaker BBQ”

DOGE is cutting funding for a badly-needed new VA medical center in Indianapolis.
Denying healthcare to our veterans isn’t efficiency. It’s cruel.
I’ve demanded that DOGE immediately reverse this dangerous decision.

Well the study section that was supposed to meet yesterday and today for one of my grants got an updated date of 04/22 on commons. I still don’t see it or any new ones in the federal register but not sure how long those take to post.

The 2nd of 5 study sections that I have grants being reviewed at got dreaded * - “Denotes this meeting did not take place as scheduled” by it. Federal register is supposedly opened up, but still the last study section posted was on 1/21, so will be 15-35 days at least for rescheduling, I bet.

Gene editing technology began by people studying salt marshes. Ozempic began by folks studying the venom of Gila Monsters. Support for basic science has empowered us to understand our world. Tethering it to applications health has transformed and saved countless lives.

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.

The following post is my opinion and not a reflection of anyone else. I saw that 2 of my grants that were submitted in response to an “At Risk” mechanism were de-assigned from the study sections they were supposed to be reviewed at. They are currently not assigned to any study section. 1/6

My funding has allowed us to make tools to understand how one specific protein impacts behavioral changes associated with repetitive movements observed in neurodevelopmental disorders.
To help people understand the importance of NIH, share what you’ve used their funding for (in easily understandable terms).
I’ll start: my NIH postdoc funding helped me develop and test AI tools that could identify skin cancer across diverse skin tones.

Super excited to share our newest preprint using proximity labeling and #proteomics and striatal biochemistry to identify new spinophilin interacting proteins and describe a potential role for spinophilin in the regulation of PSD protein expression. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Proximity labeling and orthogonal nanobody pulldown (ID-oPD) approaches to map the spinophilin interactome uncover a putative role for spinophilin in protein homeostasis.
Spinophilin is a dendritic spine enriched scaffolding and protein phosphatase 1 targeting protein. To detail spinophilin interacting proteins, we created an Ultra-ID and ALFA-tagged spinophilin encodi...
