Pediatric ID physician and scientist. Virologist. Training the next generation of physician and translational scientists.
This is a great explanation of subsequent years of grant funding. I was really worried about the 2nd year of my R01 being awarded and then learned it was awarded just before this administration started - big phew. But I don't know what it means for next year.
Bluetorial: Non-Competitive Renewal (Continuation) Awards
Normally, multiyear NIH grants are paid with awards each year, pending administratively reviewed progress reports. “NIH” has been slow in making these awards. This has led to $1.83 B being withheld from institutions through February 2025.

Right, T32s are Medical Scientist Training Programs too! I spent 7 years in an MSTP and 1 year in a separate T32 during postdoctoral training.
also the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) that enabled me to go to both medical and graduate school
yet another innocent bystander of this reckless decision by NIH and HHS

Training grants are critical to developing the next generation of scientists. I have been supported by training grants. These current graduate students and postdoctoral trainees have lost their training program environment and salary support. This is horrible.

This is a great program! One of my summer research mentees did this program and is now an MD/PhD student at the @uwmadison.bsky.social MSTP!
We're pleased to announce the 2025 SUMMERS Research Scholars Award. This program has funded 55 young researchers to date and we're enthusiastic about funding more. Review the application criteria & encourage anyone who may benefit to apply by April 4. #IDSky pidsfoundation.org/summer-resea...

What the heck, firing the Epidemic Intelligence Service officers??? www.statnews.com/2025/02/14/t... These are the people who respond to outbreaks and help figure out the cause.
CDC cuts expected to devastate Epidemic Intelligence Service, a ‘crown jewel’ of public health
Members of the CDC's Epidemic Intelligence Service were warned Friday that many of them were about to be fired

@altnih4science.bsky.social Is there any news on whether the NIH is funding subsequent years of funding on already awarded grants, ie non-competing continuation? Does anyone have stories of their grant receiving funds for subsequent years, and if yes, any cuts to your budget?

Absolutely. British Medical Journal Editors show strength to uphold scientific publishing ethics. Do not mince words to appeal to politicians. Do not delete authorship of scientists to contributed to the work. All unethical.
ATTENTION: ALL JOURNAL EDITORS.
Have the courage that Jocalyn Clark and Kamran Abbasi at the BMJ have displayed here.
Call all this out for what it is. And then refuse to comply.

Removing trainees grants from consideration for funding is horrible. Devastating. The better way would have been to move them to the parent RFA.
Just in case you thought that removing DEI criteria would mean that everyone is competing equally: NIH is removing grad students from underrepresented backgrounds from the applicant pool altogether. Their applications will not be considered. Other students, not from these backgrounds, will be.

🧬🧠📈🟦 I was poking around on the Wayback Machine (@waybackmachine.bsky.social) to determine whether NCBI content was backed up there.
Using my own publicly-released gene expression data as a litmus test, it appears that the pages describing the datasets are backed up, but the data itself is not.
