I haven’t been on here much yet (hoping to change that) but I would like to emphasize the economic impact of the NIH in the state I call home. I got into this career to help improve treatment for eating disorders. Without agencies like the NIH it would be a lot harder to achieve.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

So thrilled that both my abstracts with @USFDEPTHLab and @UCSD_EDC were accepted as talks for #iced2024. Can’t wait to talk about #compulsiveexercise and #eatingdisorders in New York this spring!
