Today #NIH leadership were told no funds can go out for research project grants, R&D contracts or training grants.
We have just a couple weeks to get funds out the door before Russel Vought attempts a #PocketRescission on Aug 15.
Even if this ends up being temporary, it’s time we don’t have.

Oh
The US Army took down its page on the 442nd Regimental Combat Team
Most decorated unit in US history
Also almost entirely Japanese-American
This is very, very fucked up

We need to organize--let’s help each other.
NIH is cancelling grants, but it's not clear exactly what they're cancelling and why. Without this information, we can't respond.
I've started a Google Sheet to track grant cancellations.
Please add any canceled grants you know of and spread the word!
