biochemist and NIGMS grantee
A miracle occurred today-NOA received! R35 renewal application submitted May 2024, reviewed October 2024, council feb 2025 cancelled. Under administrative review" for 4 months. Aug1 start (instead of april 1) Better late than never! Sincerely grateful for the NIH staff that made this happen.

On July 14 the status of my R35 renewal application (submitted May 2024) changed to "Award Prepared" in ERA commons. Is this it? Will I get an NOA? I had totally given up on this and am worried about getting too hopeful about this. Advice please!!!

Does anyone know if the R35 MIRA RFA for established investigators which expired on June 1 will be renewed?

Is anyone else anxious about May 22 NIGMS advisory council? Will there be more NOAs for new grants sent out after this meeting? My R35 renewal went from 'pending council review' to 'pending administrative review' but I still know absolutely NOTHING about whether it will be funded. No reply from PO.

Who is getting NOAs from NIGMS? My colleague and I submitted R35 renewal applications in 5/2024, review 10/2024, cancelled AC 2/25. He got his NOA. I have only "pending administrative review" status. Only 24 R35 -06 have been awarded since 4/1/2025 (NIH reporter). Is it random who gets NOA when????

These policies universally damage research funding
Despite what certain people might tell you, ongoing cuts to federal support for science & medical research are not 'targeted' to 'elite' institutions. They are broad in scope, hit state universities, flagships, hospitals, and research institutes all across the U.S.

Working with an interdisciplinary team, we have developed a website to communicate how the White House's proposed cuts to health research would cause losses of $16B and 68,500 jobs.

Yes, I am hearing about this as well. Approximately 200 people including program officers within their first 3 years. More wanton and cruel destruction.
NSF just got hit with layoffs of probationary employees today. Something like 10% of their workforce

Please post of DM me if you are still seeing 'pending council review' on ERA commons due to Advisory Council meetings being 'postponed'.

Being in grant limbo pretty tough when you followed the party line and have a research lab that is primarily funded with a single R35 MIRA grant and have no idea if/when it will be funded even though it received a 'fundable' score.

What will happen to pending grants that included a (required) PEDP diversity plan that was included in study section review? I was told that study sections meeting post DEI ban have been told not to include the PEDP in their score. Will pending grants in limbo be considered? Have to resubmit?

Would love to share information with others who are in grant limbo. R35 MIRA program aggressively pushed by NIGMS as
'sustainable funding'. With a renewal that was scored in fundable range but not approved when advisory council meeting was 'postponed' where does that leave me? No info from my PO.
