One of the canceled NIH grants is a study on the link between the fear of deportation and mental health. Of course.

The NIH is canceling already-funded research on inequality, telling scholars that their studies "are antithetical to the scientific inquiry, do nothing to expand or knowledge of living systems, provide low returns on investment, and ultimately do not advance health, lengthen life, or reduce illness"
My federal grants with @wendymanning.bsky.social and Ann Meier were terminated last week. The language from the termination is below. It has been sad as we are being forced to say goodbye to members of our team. We are figuring out next steps. We remain deeply committed to studying all families.

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.

In response to orders from the Trump White House, the National Science Foundation has canceled all of its grant review panels for this week.

This follows the National Institutes of Health canceling its grant review panels earlier.

This is a huge disruption to US science.

The Trump admin has cancelled the panels that approve NIH grants, & is also banning scientists from communicating with the public, attending conferences, and hiring.

NIH is the largest funder of biomedical research in the world. This will severely halt the development of many lifesaving treatments.
