This is incredibly upsetting. While the effects of these cancellations are clear to academics, we need to ensure that the wider public is not only aware of what's happening, but also understands how much damage this will cause to health and medical infrastructure, tech innovation, and higher ed.
This will start to filter through the community today but the Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Science Study section has been postponed to an unknown future date. The approvals at the highest levels that needed to happen for a federal review meeting to be held didn’t get done. 1/n

Scientists work for *years* to get National Science Foundation funding. It’s extremely competitive.

If you do, it pays your students. Pays their rent, food & tuition while they do science in your lab.

Right now, it’s being ripped away for reasons having nothing to do with efficiency or merit.

NIH cuts are getting the press, but VA research is getting slashed too. What do we lose when VA research goes away? Here's some greatest hits: The nicotine patch, invention of the cardiac pacemaker, first successful liver transplant, development of the CAT/CT scan

VA Research Funding Slashed
Though not as prominent as the NIH, VA researchers play a major role in advancing basic health science. Hundreds of projects have been cut.

"The NIH... supported 99 percent of the drugs approved in the U.S. from 2010 to 2019. The agency has had a hand in “nearly all of our major medical breakthroughs over the past several decades,”

The NIH is in a struggle for its (and our) lives. This is existential to America:

Administration officials pressured NIH to avoid clear advice from the agency’s own lawyers to restart grant funding now.

Excellent presentation from Dr. Carolynn Patten on the implementation of markerless motion capture in real-world settings today at #ASNR2024. This approach allows clinicians and researchers to efficiently collect high-quality data in diverse patient populations. #neurorehabilitation
